FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE ECS BOARD OF TRUSTEES
T
his year marked a successful leadership transition
at Episcopal Community Services as we prepared
for the retirement of our executive director, the
Rev. John Midwood, and hired his successor. We have
chosen a strong executive director in David E. Griffith.
He has taken command
with energy, focus and
commitment and is
responding to new challenges
with public funding and
government contracts with
creativity and dedication to
our staff and clients. Dave
started at ECS in May,
gaining a unique opportunity to work closely with his
predecessor before John’s official retirement on June 30,
the close of our fiscal year.
During this
exciting transition,
The excellence of our

and effective agency.
excellent results. We
are constantly reevaluating our efforts in order to better
serve our clients and provide our staff with the support
they need to make a difference.
Our most comprehensive and resource-intensive
program is ECS St. Barnabas Mission, providing 24/7
shelter and support to homeless women and their
children. One highlight of this year was success in our new
Butterfly parent/child interaction model, which replaced
the shelter’s preschool program last year. Not only are we
able to serve more children under the new model, the
parents also benefit, bonding with their children in a
positive way and learning skills they can take with them
to their new homes.
The new Butterfly model is just one area in which
ECS is working to foster long-term benefits. Another is
our programing for teens and young adults. Formerly
known as the Teens Takin’ Over Saturday workshop
series, the program is now developing into a larger and
more comprehensive experience. We had a committed
group of teens who were interested in working on their
2 Episcopal Community Services
projects after school, so we opened our doors to them
on weeknights. We found that past participants still
benefited from our support after age 18, so we are
formalizing that by expanding our services to youth ages
18–23. We have also secured funding to more than double
our program from 40 to 100 youth.
Our record of success also led to new developments in
our Out of School Time program in the Feltonville section
of Philadelphia when we were selected for an unsolicited
grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education
21st Century Learning Center to develop a new arts
education model. We hired our first artist-in-residence,
local actress Salina Faison, to develop arts programing,
culminating in the production of a video entitled Youth
Voice, Youth Choice available on our website.
These are just a handful of examples in which ECS
is going above and beyond in everything we do. This
annual report contains dozens more as well as stories
of some of the people we have helped and the caring
people who deliver our services. It’s a chance to see the
big-picture outcomes and to focus on the individual
lives we change.
The excellence of our current programs provides a
foundation on which to build a more vibrant, dynamic
and effective agency. This annual report not only
covers where we have been, but where we are going
as an agency.
We will never be satisfied with simply providing a
service — ECS is about transformation. We have some
very hard work ahead to secure the agency for the
future, respond to the profound needs of our clients in
ways that make real and permanent changes in their lives,
and strengthen and provide for our talented and hardworking staff. I know we can count on the entire ECS
community to provide support, prayers and ideas as we
move forward.
Mimi Kepner, President, Board of Trustees
FROM THE DESK OF DAVID E. GRIFFITH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I
get asked a lot of questions these days. There are two
in particular that have helped me frame this letter
for our annual report: “Why did you take this
assignment?” and “As an agency, where are we going?”
I accepted the call to lead ECS for three reasons. First:
the vulnerable people we serve. Our compelling challenge
to live our mission of social justice and lift people out of
the cycle of poverty is one that as a people of faith — all
faiths — we are called to answer. Second: our amazing
staff. Working with the ECS staff each day is a joy. To be
surrounded by individuals who care deeply for their work
and the needs of our clients is refreshing and inspiring.
You can teach skills and leadership, but you can’t teach
attitude and passion. Our people have both in
abundance. Third: the critical support that comes from
you — our partners and collaborators — in this work.
Your support and presence is not only necessary, but
drives a level of accountability that compels us to answer
the call to service at the highest level possible. While we
need your financial support, we need your time and
thoughtful prayers even more.
When I began as executive director, I told the team that
everything is up for review except our focus on our mission, our clients and our values. Given the unprecedented
sea change underway, we must look to create an agency
that honors its traditions while, at the same time, evolving
into a nimble, creative organization that is world-class.
To achieve this, we have established the Center for
Innovation and Impact (“the HUB”) to drive fact-based
and measurable change based on our long- and short-term
outcomes and goals. We have reorganized our management
structure to make clear our focus on accountability and
priorities. We will invest in leadership development for our
staff and build on the notion of entrepreneurial social work.
In essence, we are looking at all we do and asking what adds
value, what has impact, what has ECS uniqueness and what
can we bring to scale. More importantly, we are asking the
tougher questions — what do we stand for, what are the
key strategic issues we need to address and what do we
need to let go. Moving forward, you will see and hear more
from ECS as we build our unique brand, speak out on the
issues our clients face and answer the calls to action necessary to move on these issues and give our clients a voice.
Frankly, this is work in progress. My long-term goal is
to lead an agency that can live its mission to the fullest
and respond to the needs of our clients no matter the
economic or political environment. Although it is early
in my tenure, some directions are already clear.
First, we need to build our financial strength so we can
do ECS-level work regardless of the economic and
political climate. We will
explore the possibility of
some for-profit initiatives
while moving to pick up the
pace of our overall advancement efforts. Second, we will
strategically focus on the
Philadelphia youth population, and the notion that
meaningful employment is the best outcome to change
lives. Third, ECS Saint Barnabas Mission will expand its
presence in the neighborhood and explore long-term
programs with alumni. Our educational programs will
expand. Home health care and medical foster care present
us both traditional and fee-for-service opportunities both
in Philadelphia and out.
In addition, we will reach out to our parishes and
build programs that add value to this unique relationship.
This will include a best outreach practices conference early
in 2014, technology support where needed, volunteer
opportunities, and advancement workshops for individual
churches in such areas as planned giving, grant writing,
fundraising and volunteer recruitment. There is so much
need out there and that is why partners and collaborators
are so important. It doesn’t matter who does this work as
long as the work gets done and done well. We have an
obligation to live both the E and the S in Episcopal
Community Services.
It is an honor and a calling to do this work. We can’t do
everything, but what we do, we commit we will do very
well. Our success as an agency will be measured in the
long term success of all of our clients. No other metrics
really matter! Without your support, success can’t happen.
We need you and we want your feedback. My number is
215.351.1413 and email is griffithd@ecs1870.org.
Won’t you help us answer the call?
David E. Griffith, Executive Director

ECS LOOKING FORWARD
A Dubious Distinction
P
hiladelphia has the highest rate of
poverty among the nation’s 10 largest
cities, with 28% of residents, including a
third of all children, living below the federal
poverty line. Philadelphia also tops the list for
residents in “deep poverty,” living on less than
half of the poverty threshold. Deep poverty in
particular can leave you so far down you can’t
even tell which way is up.
Poverty means more than just living with scarcity.
It means living with toxic stress and uncertainty that
negatively impact physical and mental health. Cognitive
research has demonstrated that human beings are
vulnerable to decision fatigue: The more decisions we
must make, the poorer we are at making good ones.
Surviving in poverty requires countless daily decisions.
Should you buy milk or toilet paper with your last few
dollars? Do you pay the rent or the electric bill this
month? When your decision-making energy is depleted,
you are more likely to fall prey to drugs and alcohol,
violence, bad relationships and a host of other problems
associated with poverty.
Many families ECS serves have been struggling to
survive on low-wage jobs, most of which pay minimum
wage and offer unreliable hours, leaving nothing left to
save for the inevitable crisis down the line, be it a layoff,
an illness, increased rent or loss of child care. The
diversion of government funds from social services

leaves vulnerable Philadelphia residents with fewer
opportunities to break the cycle of poverty. Families are
experiencing continued cuts to public assistance and
food. These cuts have led to homelessness, interruptions
in education and placement of children in foster care.
We know education is a major factor in breaking the
cycle of poverty, but Philadelphia public schools are in
crisis as government support continues to dwindle.
There are inadequate supports for older youth who
want to attend college or vocational training.
A former blighted property in West Philadelphia became
ECS St. Barnabas Mission where we work to break the cycle of
poverty every day. ECS will commit to greater engagement with
our neighbors in this community.
ECS LOOKING FORWARD
There is nothing more tragic than losing the next
generation of children and wasting their potential because
of cuts to education.
As a social services agency, we must advocate for the
people we serve. Even as we respond to disruptive
changes in government programs and the economy, we
continue to struggle with the same issues we have faced
for decades: low-paying jobs or no job opportunities at
all, poor education in the poorest communities in our
city and, worst of all, the attitude that these conditions
are inevitable. It is not enough to have laws in place
that say we have equal rights to the
pursuit of education and jobs if there
are no opportunities for families to
actualize them.
We need to confront the root causes
of poverty rather than “put Band-Aids
on bullet holes,” to quote one ECS case
worker. We believe this can only be
done with long term employment,
decent wages and benefits and using
self-economics as the road to long
term change. Getting young adults
through school, providing safe
housing, wellness, and vocational
direction and preparation through
direct experiences with mentors is
our direction and focus.
People do not want to be in chronic
poverty with all of the associated
issues of addiction, abuse and
homelessness. They want to work and
provide for their families. They want
to move forward in their lives. As
citizens of the Philadelphia region, we
have a vested interest in looking
poverty in the eye and making the
commitment to end it. We can no
longer look past our back yard. Just
as it takes a village to raise a child,
it will take collaboration between
government, charities and business to
lift up our neighbors in poverty. ■

ECS LOOKING FORWARD
Planning Our Future
T
here are many organizations addressing
the effects of poverty in our region. For
ECS to have value to those who invest
their time and money in our work, we must be
both excellent and unique. As we look to the
future, we must ask ourselves some simple
questions: What do we do exceptionally well?
What needs are most underserved in our
community?
Expanding our Reach
Poverty is no longer just a problem found in big cities
and remote rural areas. Increasingly, it also finds its way
into the suburbs where programs to serve people in need
have traditionally not been as well-developed. ECS will
remain focused on the city of Philadelphia where our
programs are already in place and where the level of need
remains overwhelming. However, we will also look for
opportunities to serve the entire five-county region both
through our own programing and by sharing our
expertise. Already, ECS is exploring expansion of home
care services for the elderly and medical foster care
beyond the city limits.
project-based learning, cognitive behavioral therapy,
vocational mentoring (delivered online) and paid
work experience.
Outreach to Our Partners
We recognize that there is plenty of need in our
region: It doesn’t matter who does the work, as long as
it gets done. Rather than duplicate efforts and compete
for resources, ECS will seek to partner with other
providers whenever possible. As we develop innovative
service models, we will share what we learn. Already,
ECS’ groundbreaking work adapting cognitive
behavioral therapy to a social services environment
is taking root in the social work field.
ECS was originally founded as a way to coordinate
the existing outreach efforts of local Episcopal parishes.
We will refocus our efforts in this area by sharing our
expertise in social service delivery, management and
financing to parishes throughout the entire Episcopal
Diocese of Pennsylvania as they seek to serve the needs
of their communities. ■
Deepening Our Impact
One focus of expansion at ECS will be in vocational and
educational support to economically vulnerable youth
aged 14–23. The group, already under-served, has borne
the brunt of the school funding crisis through cuts to
sports, activities and counseling. We already have a positive
and innovative track record working with young adults.
As part of our education initiative, ECS is developing a
new holistic program delivered in a school environment
to guide participants through high school and postsecondary education. The program will work with each
participant to develop an individualized education plan.
Based on the youth’s present and projected educational
interests, we will provide a menu of supportive, relevant,
culturally competent and client-informed services.

Saturdays and after school during the week to provide

Expanded youth education and career preparation are major
priorities for ECS. The agency has implemented innovative learning
models in its Out of School Time program and developed new
methods through pilot programs with teens.
ECS LOOKING FORWARD
Transforming the Agency
I
t’s not enough to say you’re the best. You
have to be the best and prove it. Here at ECS,
we are transforming our administrative
processes to do just that, basing improvements
on evidence and evaluating the results through
the collection and analysis of consistent data.
Introducing the Center for Innovation and Impact
ECS recently launched a major initiative, the Center for
Innovation and Impact, also known as The Hub. Executive
Director Dave Griffith has assembled a team drawn from
existing ECS leadership and staff to develop, implement
and evaluate improvements to ECS programs. The team
includes a new full-time position, Director of Analytics
and Impact, to facilitate the process.
ECS programs are already highly functional and each
has developed procedures that could be effective in other
departments. Each program also faces challenges that
could be addressed more efficiently at the agency level. One
aspect of The Hub will empower staff to function as social
entrepreneurs by providing funding for pilot projects.
The expansion of ECS youth programing comes in direct response to
a dearth of programing for older youth and disheartening statistics for
outcomes of former foster children.
Successful innovation will involve all agency departments
at every step of the process. Through consultation with the
ECS Advancement Department, program development can
take into account the priorities of potential funders. ECS
information technology professionals will help ensure that
resources are available to record and analyze data generated
by each project. This kind of teamwork will ensure that
each project is sustainable, scalable and supported at every
level of the organization.
The Center for Impact and Innovation is the new model
for program improvement and development at ECS. All
departments play a role in testing and implementing new
solutions, but the needs of the ECS clients are always center
of mind.
A 21st Century Workplace
Transitioning to a mobile, paperless workplace is a longterm priority at ECS. Just in the last few years, wireless
technology has become ubiquitous thanks to widespread
adoption of smart phones and tablets. Combined with a
move to cloud computing, these innovations are finally
making it possible to work anywhere. This presents
extraordinary opportunities for innovation at ECS. This is
especially true for case managers whose work takes them
all over the city, but no ECS employee sits behind a desk
all day. A more mobile workflow will reduce downtime
during the workday, allowing ECS employees to spend less
time behind a desk and more time doing what they love:
helping people.
Another innovation to improve efficiency is already
underway: the development of a single database to track
all ECS program participants. For many years, ECS has
grappled with the challenge of tracking and evaluating
program outcomes, particularly because each
government-funded program requires a different
proprietary database. The new database will create a
single home for all information which can then be
exported to the other systems. That means less time
wasted on data entry and reconciling reports. It also
presents the opportunity to coordinate services across
different programs, resulting in seamless and more
effective service delivery. ■
www.ecsphilly.org 7
ECS LOOKING FORWARD
Taking a Stand
F
or many years, ECS has stayed silent as
debates raged about public policy around
issues of poverty. We preferred to focus on
the individual needs of the people we serve. Our
program participants will always be our first
priority, but we can’t do everything. We must
also take a stand on issues that prevent us from
having the impact we would like to have.
Sometimes, that will mean speaking out on big
issues such as food stamps or education. Other
times, there will be lower-profile changes for
which we can be a voice for change.
In order to determine what issues, large and
small, affect the people we serve, we asked the
question, program by program: What needs to
change for ECS to meet the goals we set for
ourselves and our program participants?
FAST Housing: A need for more programs and
greater flexibility
ECS FAST Housing provides a home and case
management to families with a history of repeated or
long-term periods of homelessness and a parent with a
disability. There is no time limit to these services, but most
families want to eventually live independently and ECS
works hard to make that happen. Unfortunately, there are
many structural barriers on the road to self-sufficiency.
Access to affordable, reliable mental health care can
be difficult for those who need it, making it much harder
for families to move forward. Parents who receive disability
benefits (which include medical coverage) may lose them
by working, even if their job does not provide the medical
coverage they need to remain in the workforce. There is
also a shortage of other subsidized housing options, so
even if a family no longer needs case management, they
may not be able to leave the program and maintain access
to affordable housing if they still lack sufficient income.
Foster/Kinship Care: Well-meaning rules distract
from the real problems
The ECS Foster/Kinship Care program serves children
removed from their families due to abuse, neglect, or
8 Episcopal Community Services

School Rally near City Hall calling for support for after school programs.
Speaking up about what works and what needs to change is a crucial
tactic in ECS’ strategy to tackle poverty in Philadelphia and beyond.
unsafe living conditions, with a specialty in meeting the
needs of children with medical issues. The work of our
staff is made harder by a maze of sometimes contradictory
regulations and unfunded mandates. The courts have
ordered increased visitation between children and their
parents and grandparents, which is wonderful, but these
visits require line-of-sight staff supervision with no
additional resources allotted. ECS has diverted existing
program dollars to hire aides to help out. New training
requirements for staff mean days spent in class instead of
meeting the needs of families. In cases in which parental
rights must be terminated, the family court process can
drag on for months or even years, preventing children
from being adopted.
A complete citywide overhaul of the child welfare
system, Improving Outcomes Children, is intended to
address some of these problems, but in the meantime, it is
creating additional confusion and uncertainty. It is likely
that this overhaul will end ECS’ involvement in general
foster care in Philadelphia, but we are working to expand
our medical foster care program and foster parent
training and recruitment services.
Home Care: Funding cuts undermine client safety
and wellbeing
ECS Home Care provides services to elderly
Philadelphians with extremely limited financial resources.
Many clients rely on government-funded waiver and
option programs that provide free or reduced-cost inhome services. The waiver and option programs recently
ECS LOOKING FORWARD
switched from local management at Philadelphia
Corporation for Aging (PCA) to state control, resulting in
longer waits and reduced approvals for services and leaving
many homebound seniors without needed services. A
reduction in PCA staff available to coordinate services for
seniors has resulted in many clients being unable to obtain
home repair assistance, pest extermination, ambulance
services and other resources that enable them to live safely
at home. ECS has taken on some of this burden in order to
continue serving Home Care clients, but there are limits to
what the agency can do with current resources.
Out of School Time: A lack of coordination of services
The ECS Out of School Time program operates within
Philadelphia public schools in the Feltonville section of
the city, a diverse neighborhood with many immigrants
from around the world. Many families have multiple
needs related to poverty so their circumstances are
complicated. Often, they need to access programs within
different systems, but the city has never done a really
good job at coordinating services. Just managing the Out
of School Time program requires compliance with
regulations and licensure requirements with different
government agencies that all require something slightly
different in one area or another.
The funding crisis in the Philadelphia public schools
will create additional issues. The middle school will have
no guidance counselor, which will especially impact
8th graders applying to high schools. ECS staff and a
master’s-level social work intern will try to assist in any
ways possible. Also, without office support staff in the
schools, the report cards and school attendance data ECS
uses to measure program outcomes will not be available.
St. Barnabas Mission: Homelessness is just one
symptom of poverty
ECS St. Barnabas Mission provides more than just
shelter for the homeless women and children who call it
home. Homelessness is just one symptom of poverty and
many shelter residents also present with untreated mental
health and addiction problems, inadequate educational
attainment and other issues. ECS St. Barnabas Mission
is the safety net, family, counselor, mental health
supporter, coach, educational connection, service
referrals mechanism and advocate for the families
who enter its doors.
Time spent at the shelter is often transformative,
but after six to 12 months, most families have grown
beyond the interventions ECS St. Barnabas provides.
Unfortunately, significant barriers prevent families from
moving on from shelter at a faster pace. Insufficient
income, poor credit and past debts to utilities often put
market-rate housing out of reach for residents. There is a
limited number of transitional housing openings and
even fewer subsidized housing slots available for lowincome families. These challenges become frustrating for
both the families and for the staff who are trying to
creatively and comprehensively serve this very vulnerable
population. Not only are there not enough housing
opportunities for families leaving shelter, but there are
even fewer that provide educational assistance needed to
break the cycle of poverty and dependency.
Jay works on the “chalk wall” of the new ECS Youth Center space.
Giving a voice to the people we serve is an essential part of the ECS
mission “to affirm human dignity and promote social justice.”
Youth Programming: No support for older youth
The ECS Teen workshops are evolving into a more
comprehensive program serving participants up to age
24 with an emphasis on educational attainment, career
advancement and self-sufficiency. There are very few
resources available to youth after age 18 except those
for single mothers. For young people without family
support, attending college or vocational training can be
exceptionally difficult. Particularly for youth aging out
of foster care, homelessness is a major issue. Without
housing, it is nearly impossible for at-risk youth to
advance in their educations, particularly when even a
full-time job may not pay enough to live. ■

ECS FAST HOUSING
The ECS FAST Housing Program serves families with a history of homelessness in which a parent
or other family member has a disability. Permanent housing is provided through a partnership
with 1260 Housing, a community development organization, and consists of private rental units
in several neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia. ECS case managers monitor and support
families in the program in a variety of ways, including making sure the family’s rent and utility
payments remain up to date, ensuring that all family members’ mental and physical health needs
are met, and teaching life skills.
Major Achievements in the
2012–2013 Fiscal Year:
● 95% rating in service delivery from Philadelphia Department of Human Services Provider
Relations and Evaluation of Programs.

“At some point over five years you really get to know families intimately — their goals, their fears,

Meet Muneer, Case Manager
with ECS FAST Housing
Muneer Smith knows he has a special kind of job as a
case manager with ECS FAST Housing, which provides
permanent housing and case management to families
with a history of homelessness and a parent with a
disability. Because families can stay in the housing and
case management program for as long as they need the
support it provides, Muneer has had the opportunity to
follow some families for his entire five years at ECS.
“At some point over five years you really get to know
families intimately — their goals, their fears, their wishes
and their dreams,” Muneer said.
Families in ECS FAST Housing have challenges that
have kept them out of less intensive programs or homes
of their own. Many parents in the program have had
issues with addiction, mental illness, or both. That sets
up a tension in the program between promoting
independence as the ultimate goal and recognizing
when that might not be possible.
“That’s something we’re constantly talking about as a
program,” Muneer said. “What are the best ways to help
families reach self-sufficiency when they come in with
such struggles?”

in the program were themselves raised in troubled homes
where doctor’s appointments and home maintenance

Others are ready to set larger goals, including pursuing

Muneer sees success stories large and small in his

program could have simply referred her to another
program and moved on, they kept her spot open while
she spent a month in inpatient rehab.
“When she returned she had a renewed sense of
purpose. She started setting new goals for herself,”
Muneer said. This was in 2009. Fast forward to 2013, she
is now enrolled in Community College of Philadelphia
and is working towards an associate’s degree in human
services and behavioral health. “To see that turnaround
from rock bottom to college student — I really look at
that as one of the biggest reasons I do this kind of work.”
Like many in the human services field, Muneer
struggled early on with maintaining work-life balance,
mulling over the struggles his clients were facing in his off
hours. Today, he finds an outlet with music, composing
hip hop beats in his basement studio. He is also a huge
Philly sports fan. He accepts that as a case manager, not
everything is under his control.
“A lot of people in this profession think that you put an
individual or a family in a program, their life switches
overnight and they go on to great things. That’s obviously
the ideal situation, but the reality is it’s a partnership,”
Muneer said. “It’s not just the impact that the program
has — the family has a role to play and the individual has
a role to play as well. You see the greatest success when
those things merge together in perfect harmony.” ■

FOSTER/KINSHIP CARE
ECS Foster/Kinship Care provided safe, caring homes to nearly 100 children in the 2012–2013 fiscal
year. When a child is placed into foster or kinship (with a family member) care, ECS’ goal is to
achieve a permanent outcome for that child as quickly as possible. Sometimes that means working
to solve problems at home to allow for a safe reunification with a birth family. In other situations,
adoption or another long-term custody arrangement is a better option. Either way, the best
interests of the child and speed in achieving a permanent placement are top priorities. ECS is
also one of a handful of agencies in the region to specialize in services for children with serious
medical conditions and disabilities.
Major Achievements in the
2012–2013 Fiscal Year:
● 100% of children remained free from abuse or neglect in the year following their reunification
or adoption.
● Hired a bi-lingual social worker so that the program can serve Spanish-speaking families.
● The medical and general foster care programs achieved 11 reunifications between children and
their birth parents, three adoptions and two legal custody arrangements.

“Everybody has to help everybody. That's the only way we’re going to get moving as a society.”
Meet Kyle, Former Foster
Child, Now an Entrepreneur
Today, Kyle Brothers is a successful entrepreneur
embarking on new business ventures while also giving
back to his community. At age 11, however, he was just a
scared boy who had never known a stable home life.
Kyle’s mother was a chronic alcoholic. He lived with her
until he was eight years old — old enough to remember
watching his mother beaten by men in her life and being
left home alone with his younger sister for long periods.
He experienced some stability when his father took him
in, along with the guilt that his sister, whose own father
was still living with and abusing their mother, was left
behind. He returned to his mother’s home at age 10 after
his father’s death, but within the year his mother died too.
That’s when Kyle was placed in foster care at Episcopal
Community Services (ECS).
“Up until my mother’s death, I endured the abuse, the
arguing, the cursing, the drinking,” Kyle said. “How did I
overcome it? When my mother passed away, we moved in
with our foster family and that was a totally different
atmosphere. I didn’t know it then, but that was my first
glimpse of what family meant. The Floyd family as a
whole has truly made my life complete from childhood up
until this very moment. I love them all so much.”
The Floyd family set an example for both domestic and
professional life. Kyle’s foster brother owns a construction
company and served as an inspiration as well as a mentor
in Kyle’s own ventures.
Kyle was working in the banking industry processing
checks when he realized it was time to take control of his
future. With the switch to electronic check processing, he
knew layoffs were on the way. After talking to a friend who
owned a cleaning business, Kyle got the idea to start his
own. He spent weeks of evenings in the library reading
everything he could find about the janitorial industry
and managing a business, then started KB Janitorial
Services in 2007 while still holding his day job. He took
on residential clients at first and then began landing
some commercial clients. By reinvesting earnings into the
hiring of staff and salespeople, Kyle was able to grow his
business enough to leave banking and begin exploring
future ventures. Right now he is in the process of opening
a restaurant.
Despite the demands of his business ventures, Kyle still
finds time to give back. He spent eight months developing
a model for a mentoring program he calls Youth Talk
Sessions and has chosen to launch his efforts at ECS as
part of expanded youth workshop programming.
“I was trying to figure out how I could incorporate this
into churches and recreation centers, and that’s how I
thought of ECS. I want to start it at the same place I started
at 11 years old, Kyle said. “I know what children respond to
— they’re not always going to respond to an adult telling
them to do this or do that. You have to come at them from
a standpoint that you understand them. There are certain
aspects I can relate to and others that I can’t, but I’ll give
my all to show youth that there are positive roads to take.”
For Kyle, the business ventures for which he works so
hard are just a means to an end. His ultimate goal is to be
able to have time and resources to devote to helping
children in Philadelphia full time.
“It’s important to me because my foster mother helped
me. ECS helped me,” Kyle said. “At the end of the day, I
didn’t get here by myself. If at 11 years old, I was left out in
the cold with some of the people that were around my
biological mother, I might not be at this point. Everybody
has to help everybody. That’s the only way we’re going to
get moving as a society.” ■
Kyle Brothers, a former foster child with ECS, is now an entrepreneur
with a calling to give back.

ECS HOME CARE
The ECS Home Care program provides health and safety case management alongside help with
household chores, meal preparation and personal care to disabled seniors. These services allow
clients to remain in their own homes rather than an institution and maintain their health and
wellbeing. The safety of each client’s home is monitored and the program provides assistance in
the remedy of problems such as infestations, missing smoke detectors or failure of a home’s
heating system.
Major Achievements in the
2012–2013 Fiscal Year:
● ECS Home Care served 140 elderly, home-bound clients, providing over 45,500 service hours.
● Implementation of body mechanics training reduced staff injuries by over 70%.
● Better monitoring of client safety and health helped reduce hospitalizations by 20%.
● Client overall satisfaction with services remain above average at 86%.

“I’ve taken care of my children and grandchildren and today it’s paying off. I can’t be too lonely.
I thank God for them and I thank God for ECS.”
Meet Gladys,
ECS Home Care Client
Gladys spent her whole life caring for others. She raised
nine children in her North Philadelphia row house. At 48,
her children grown, she went back to work as a medical
assistant at local nursing homes, working 16 hours a day
for 13 years to save up for a retirement in which she could
maintain her independence as long as possible.
Today, Gladys has had to give up a little of that
independence, but thanks to ECS Home Care services, she
is able to remain in her own home. From the comfort of
her easy chair, Gladys holds court over a never-ending
procession of family members and neighbors who drop
by to check on her. In addition to her nine children, she
has 32 grandchildren and more great grandchildren than
she can count. Then there is Wilhelmina, her ECS home
health aide.
“Wilhelmina has been coming for two years so she’s
my child too by now,” Gladys said. “I trust her completely.
I don’t worry about a thing when she’s around. She makes
my life a lot easier.”
A host of health problems keep Gladys from doing
everything she would like to. She suffers from
hypertension, congestive heart failure, gout and arthritis.
Her mind is still sharp, but she does get forgetful from
time to time. Homemaker services, nursing visits and
overall case management help her maintain a clean and
safe home and stay on track with doctor’s appointments
and medications.
Like many Philadelphia seniors, Gladys lives below the
poverty line and sometimes has difficulty affording food
and medications. ECS helps with referrals to services that
can help. A small grant from the Female Association of
Philadelphia helps pay for essentials.
One thing Gladys still insists on doing is cooking. She
prepares her own meals and, with a little help in the
kitchen, still makes special dishes for family gatherings
and church suppers.
“I always try to be very careful with whatever I do, but
I’m still cooking,” Gladys said. “I cook everything. I love
to eat and I love to feed people. That’s just my nature.”
Living in the same home since 1959, Gladys has seen a
lot of change in her neighborhood. For many years, her
area was stricken with blight, but with the property boom
around nearby Temple University, several houses on her
block are being
renovated.

ECS OUT OF SCHOOL TIME
The ECS Out of School Time (OST) program provides after school and summer camp
services to elementary and middle school students in the ethnically diverse Feltonville
neighborhood of Philadelphia. Educational enrichment is a major priority, as is
providing a safe, constructive environment in the crucial times when school is out
and many parents are still at work. ECS OST is a licensed child care program based in
public school facilities.
Major Achievements in the
2012–2013 Fiscal Year:
● 80% of students maintained a C average or better in math, science and reading.
● A survey of students yielded favorable results and great feedback on favorite activities and
ways to improve the program.
● The manager of OST programs citywide, PHMC, observed in a site visit that staff members
have positive relationships with students and activities are creative and well-designed.

“I’ve been here since I was five years old. They showed me a lot. They showed me manners;
they showed me how to be a caring person, a sharing person.”
Meet Miguel, 10 Years with
ECS Out of School Time
Episcopal Community Services has been a part of
Philadelphia’s Feltonville community for over a decade
providing after school and summer activities for children.
Many of the staff members have been there from the
beginning and so too have some of the children. Miguel,
15, grew up in the ECS program, joining ECS Out of
School Time (then known as the ECS Beacon Program)
when he was just five years old. This summer, he returned
not as a student, but as an intern providing the same
positive experiences to children as he received.
“They treat me as staff. Every kid here is pretty much
respectful,” Miguel said. “I help kids know what they need
to do and teach them what I learned here at ECS. I was
taught how to write, how to be a respectful kid, how to
play basketball and school stuff.”
Basketball is Miguel’s passion. He plays for a local
youth league and dreams of playing professionally,
although he knows that’s a long shot. He is also interested
in business and how marketing influences consumer
decisions. Both interests stem directly from his
participation in ECS programming. On the program’s
recent trip to New York, the opportunity to see the
commercial hustle and bustle of Manhattan made him
think of business in a new way. He says that without ECS,
he would be spending all his time outside school just
sitting around the house playing video games. Of course,
he still spends plenty of time playing Call of Duty, but he
is thankful to have other interests.
Supporting families and communities is an important
goal at ECS Out of School Time and Miguel knows how
helpful the program was to his mother.
“If my mom had to pay a babysitter, that’s $100 a week.
She brought me here to ECS. I’m learning and she doesn’t
have to worry about me. I’m safe here so she can work,”
Miguel said.
ECS Out of School Time provides a mix of fun
activities and academic enrichment. The program applies
innovative practices in project-based learning while
supporting students with homework completion and
modeling positive behaviors such as collaboration and
communication. For Miguel, ECS provides a superior
learning environment to school.
“There is more one on one, instead of having all
these classmates,” Miguel said. “It’s nicer here — you
understand more

ECS ST. BARNABAS MISSION
ECS St. Barnabas Mission is an emergency shelter in West Philadelphia serving homeless
female-headed families, but it provides much more than a place to live. During a typical
six-month stay, families benefit from counseling, referrals for housing, health and educational
support and the stability to move forward. Facilities at the shelter include a cafeteria serving
nutritious meals daily, a library, a computer lab, a safe enclosed playground, an after-school
program and a mother/child program.
Major Achievements in the
2012–2013 Fiscal Year:
● ECS St. Barnabas Mission served 287 individuals, welcoming 85 new families with 120 children
and serving 36 families with 46 children whose stays began in the previous year.
● 70% of families discharged after at least 30 days of shelter entered safe, stable housing while 20%
transferred to another shelter or program better-suited to their needs.
● The new Butterfly mother/child model served 91% of children five years old and younger while
93% of children aged six to 12 participated in after-school programming.
● 89% of families successfully maintained the goals of their family service plan by demonstrating
progress toward fulfilling long-term goals in critical areas.

“I think being here has worked on me a lot. It helped me work on myself.”
Meet Cynthia, Resident of ECS
St. Barnabas Mission
People enter the homeless shelter system in Philadelphia
for a variety of reasons. For Cynthia, it was the need for
safety from a former partner. Like many residents of ECS
St. Barnabas Mission, however, she has gotten more out of
the shelter experience than she expected.
“I think being here has worked on me a lot. It helped
me work on myself,” Cynthia said. “Before coming here, I
used to have a temper. Every little thing would set me off.
Learning how to address those situations without things
getting out of control took a lot. Now, if I’m in a situation
and I can’t talk it out, I just walk away.”
Cynthia resolved

the first place: the
safety and wellbeing of her daughter, Shide, 10. Even at a
shelter as special as ECS St. Barnabas, homelessness is a
strain on a child and Cynthia wanted to be a stabilizing
force, not another source of chaos. Thanks to her mom’s
hard work and the support of the ECS St. Barnabas
family, Shide has continued to thrive. She complains
sometimes, but she still finished the school year on the
honor roll and had a great experience at day camp during
the summer.
“It was hard for her at first, but she maintained. As
long as I do my part as a mom and stay active with her
schooling and make sure she’s on the right track she
should be all right,” Cynthia said. “She spends a lot of
time with her dad too. She has a little sister there that she
loves dearly.”
Living in a shelter with up to 40 other women and
their children can be stressful at times, but Cynthia copes
by participating in the many activities provided at ECS St.
Barnabas. Volunteers bring a variety of programs to the
shelter, including yoga, computer classes and workshops
on topics like health and financial literacy. She never
misses a meeting of the book club, and often has her head
in a book.
“Just about anything they have to offer, I try to
participate or have my daughter participate. I don’t think
I’ve missed anything,” Cynthia said. “After a while you can
become a little bottled up, but I feel like if you participate
in the things that are offered it’s less stressful. I try to
show my daughter that just because we’re in a shelter we
can still have fun.”
Cynthia’s hopes for the future are simple: go back to
school, get a full time job and provide a safe, stable home
for her daughter. Although back problems forced her to
give up her physically demanding job administering
cardiac stress tests, she hopes to get back into the medical
field as a way to help others. She is ready for the next
step in her journey, but is thankful for her time at
ECS St. Barnabas Mission. ■

ECS YOUTH CENTER
What started as a simple Saturday workshop series for teens in other ECS programs has now
evolved into the ECS Youth Center, an individualized employment preparation program for youth
ages 14–23. The previous program model, Teens Taking Over, served 40 youth, while the new
program increases capacity to 100, applying principles of project-based learning, cognitive
behavioral therapy, vocational mentoring (delivered online) and paid work experience.
All available research demonstrates that foster care youth, youth who have experienced
homelessness and those who have felt the devastating effects of poverty require a far more
intensive support system than currently available in order to access competitive, sustainable
employment. The goal of the ECS Youth Center is to equip these young people with the skills,
resources and support to obtain sustainable employment and achieve financial stability.
Major Program Goals for the
Next Three Years:
● 85% of young adults are able to map their career path and meet goals established
in their plan.
● 75% of young adults obtain paid employment.
● 75% of young adults attain documented increases in critical thinking, teamwork, information
technology skills, creativity and professionalism.
● 75% of young adults are admitted to a two-year college, certificate/credential
program or trade school.
● 50% of young adults obtain full-time employment with benefits.

“They really do have a lot of hidden talent and skills that come out when you encourage it.
That’s been really valuable to see happen and be a part of.”
Meet Pragya, Intern with
ECS Youth Programming
From the beginning, ECS youth workshop programming
has benefited from the service of master’s level social
work interns. They bring a fresh perspective to the
innovative work.
Pragya Verma spent two semesters and the summer
with ECS and was instrumental in the development and
implementation of

School of Social
Policy and Practice, Pragya is interested in both social
work policy and practice and her experience opened her
eyes to both.
“Class doesn’t prepare you for this,” Pragya said. “It
doesn’t matter how many articles you read or how much
research you do, being in an environment in an agency is
where the experience happens.”
The hallmark of ECS youth programming is that the
participants themselves are responsible for determining
the activities in which they take part. In school, there is a
set curriculum and a struggle to motivate students. At
ECS, there are still goals to achieve, but because they are
based around student interests, participants are already
motivated and committed. Taking on a facilitator role,
Pragya started by just getting to know the teens before
helping them determine their goals for the year. Video
production has long been an important tool in the
program. This year, participants chose to create a video
advocacy project asking a question: What does the city
need to know to keep teens safe, housed and educated?
“It grew out of their passion to make a difference and
get their voices heard. They know the neighborhoods
they’re from; they know where it’s safe, where it’s not safe,
why it’s not safe. They see their experience at school and
they’re dissatisfied sometimes with how things are going.
They had a lot of interesting things to say,” Pragya said.
“We worked on it almost the whole year and ended up
with a really great video. They did a great job figuring out
how to interview each other, how to interview other
people in the community. It was definitely a learning
process for all of us to be part of such a large project.”
One difference between ECS’ programming and other
youth engagement models is a matter of geography.
Participants from all over the city come to ECS’ downtown
headquarters. Although community-based programs have
their place, there is also a value in providing an alternative
to the drama in the neighborhoods.
“They get to forget about stuff that’s going on over there
and come to a neutral space where they can leave that stuff
behind,” Pragya said. “They wanted to come in during the
week, so we actually opened up our doors on weeknights
sometimes, just giving them a space where they really felt
comfortable to do homework or work on projects.”
By staying at ECS for an entire year, Pragya had the
opportunity to help craft the direction of the ever-evolving
youth program. That includes a major expansion in the
number of youth served, integrating more individual
attention and mentoring, and a shift to maintaining a
connection to participants into their early 20s. The potential
the program has uncovered in the program’s participants
leaves no other choice but to make the program better.
“They really do have a lot of hidden talent and skills
that come out when you encourage it,” Pragya said. “That’s
been really valuable to see happen and be a part of.” ■
As an intern for a full year, Pragya Verma learned a lot and helped
shape new programming.

Planned Gifts Build a Foundation
for the Future
ECS is grateful to those whose
planned gifts have strengthened our
endowment or provided funding for
our social and educational services
and programs.
Planned gifts have always played an important role in making ECS a strong and
stable organization, and this was especially true this year. In Fiscal Year 2013, ECS
received more than $1 million in planned gifts. Most of these gifts came in the form of
bequests — also known as gifts through a will. In addition, we received gifts from life
insurance policies, retirement plans (such as IRA’s), a charitable trust and several
charitable gift annuities that matured.
Planned giving is vital to ECS not only because it can ensure our success far into the
future, but because it offers an opportunity to make a statement about the importance of
our mission. You can use planned gifts, including life income gifts and bequests, to
provide meaningful support for ECS
while enjoying financial and tax
benefits for you and your family.
A planned gift is a lasting
investment in ECS, advancing our
mission and ensuring our ability to
respond to the challenges we will face
in the future as we have done for
more than 143 years. We invite you
to strengthen your commitment by
considering a planned gift to ECS.
Once you have decided to support ECS with a planned gift, please let us know. Your
gift — of any size — qualifies you for membership in our City Mission Legacy Society.
While you may choose to remain anonymous, we would love to have the opportunity to
thank and recognize you. As a City Mission Legacy Society member you will receive
special recognition benefits and have the option to participate in invitation-only events.
I’ve always loved ECS.
They do a really good job
of not doing Band-Aids,
but really pulling people
up and out of their cycle
of poverty.
—Dixie Wigton,
ECS City Mission

A loving home is
the best medicine.
As a medical foster parent, your devotion can
change the life of a child. We provide training
and resources. You provide the love and care.
ECS is seeking foster parents in Philadelphia,
Bucks, Montgomery and Delaware Counties
for children with medical conditions.
Who can be a foster parent?
ECS Foster parents can be single or married, gay or straight
and of any race, religion and background. Medical foster
parents must have flexible schedules or family support to allow
for numerous medical appointments.
For more information,
please contact
Foster Parent Recruiter
Lillian Jackson at
foster@ecs1870.org or
215.351.1498.
What support is provided?
As a medical foster parent, you will receive training for
medication management, medical equipment and other skills
necessary to care for the child placed in your home. ECS
provides supportive social workers, activities and opportunities
for respite care when you need a break. The cost of each child’s
medical care is covered by Medicaid and a monthly stipend
helps support other costs of caring for a child.
