The PennZone

PHILADELPHIA - PennZone -- Inner Strength, a 501(c)3 non profit educational organization, is excited to announce the start of a strategic planning process in collaboration with Insyte Partners. For eight years, ISE has greatly contributed to the resilience, growth, and strength-building of youth in Philadelphia. Our impact has grown as the ripple effect of educational programs in schools, support for teachers, and mindfulness application has reached over 17,000 individuals.

Now at an exciting crossroads, ISE aims to build a future vision and articulate a grounded strategic direction for our next chapter. "Our goal is to grow ourselves, discover new strengths, augment existing ones, and take all of that momentum into the next phase", said Amy Edelstein, Founder and Executive Director of Inner Strength.

Inner Strength and Insyte Partners estimate that the strategic planning process will take 6-8 months.
