Tech Support Volunteers.png

We're looking for community volunteers to support families and students remotely!

With the school-year off to a virtual start, we are recruiting community volunteers to help families and students navigate common tech issues from operating a Chromebook to internet connectivity. No formal experience needed.
Email info@nicephilly.org for more info or to volunteer to support.


Meet the NICE Board 

NICE is led by a group of neighbors who work with the Childs school community to support school goals and engage the wider community. Each month we'll be featuring a different member of our current Board. This month we are excited for you to meet Board President Dave Weinstein. Want to connect with Dave? Email us at info@nicephilly.org.

NICE's new Board President is Dave Weinstein, who has worked with NICE for the last two and half years. Dave has lived in Philly since 2007 and moved to 16th/Morris in 2017 with his wife and now 1 year old daughter. He currently works as the Managing Director of Service and Strategy for City Year Philadelphia, where he oversees the service model and operations of an AmeriCorps program that places 215 tutors and mentors in Philadelphia public schools. Dave is excited to work in support of the Childs community and galvanize public support for the school during a challenging year for educators, students, and families.


We want to hear from YOU!

NICE is made up of a small but mighty team of volunteers.  And we want to hear from you!  If there are ways you think NICE can better serve the G.W. Childs community, particularly in these current times, please let us know!  Email us at info@nicephilly.org.


Spread the word and help us build our NICE community!
