FOUNDED

OUR STORY

Rooted in community, built for impact

Envisioned in 2012 and officially founded in 2019, POP Program was created to provide meaningful opportunities and community-centered programming for youth, families, veterans, seniors, and neighbors in Englewood, NJ and surrounding areas.

What began as a vision centered on youth development has grown into a multi-generational organization offering tutoring, literacy, college and career readiness, entrepreneurship, leadership, wellness, cultural enrichment, and family support.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, POP supported essential workers and their families through outreach and youth engagement. Today we continue to grow through partnerships with volunteers, schools, and community leaders.
