@TheECOfoundation has been serving Philadelphia for over 8 years, and we can’t do this work alone.

With your help we can continue to feed over 100 families a week with the support of our Young BULs (Bold Unstoppable Leaders)

What are we going to do, if they're defunding our schools every single day

We have been working on this more than a classroom idea for over 5 years

We are 2 men from the same poverty we want to help these children out of

We don't have college degrees. We don't have networks, we don't have capital. We have dedication!

We found spaces that would sponsor us, and we gave everything we had yesterday

DON’T EAT THE STUDENTS 🎓📚

@drkyletheconductor and his team @theecofoundation @vizionarycustoms @calm_odyssey are doing work that I truly believe is needed in schools across the country. This was at @masteryhighschool in Camden, New Jersey.

We put so much emphasis on producing the next doctors, lawyers and professionals that sometimes we overlook the people helping shape them every single day: our teachers.

When we pour into educators, they pour into students. When students feel supported, understood and inspired, that impact reaches families and ultimately the entire community.

Programs like Don’t Eat the Students give educators tools to navigate challenging situations, better connect with students and keep the love of education alive.

This one is personal for me too. When we first started working together, he was Kyle. Now I get to call this brother Dr. Kyle. Watching his elevation and the growth of his team has been powerful.
Honored to work alongside you, brother. Keep pushing. Keep educating. Keep elevating. The work matters. 💯

Over the past six weeks, our students have developed in professional skills, financial literacy, crisis mediation, trade skills, and career exploration while preparing for life beyond high school.

Thank you to our students, families, staff, and community partners for making this experience possible. A special thank you to Council President Kenyatta Johnson for recognizing our graduates with City Council citations and helping celebrate their accomplishments.

Congratulations to the BSDI Class of 2026. Your future is bright, and this is only the beginning.

@TheECOFoundation opened our community space #TheECOcenter 6 years ago today!

We have provided over a quarter million pounds of food to thousands of people with the help of hundreds of young people that were paid via the Young BUL (Bold Unstoppable Leaders) Program.

We have housed 21 young adults, and successfully transitioned 18 of them to independent living in stable housing.

Unfortunately, our 5 year mortgage is up this November, and we’re not in the financial position to keep our doors open. We no longer have the business credit score, previous year’s financials, or the guarantors we need to renew our mortgage. Like many nonprofits we have felt the impact of the changing political landscape and the shift of priorities from our funders.

We WILL be continuing our commUnity programming working with other West/Southwest Philly spaces, but will have to sell our building. A lot has changed over the years but our commitment to serving Our People has not.

We still believe in the power of the people, and know there’s no nation like a donation. If you would like to help us as we transition please make a contribution by visiting SupportECO.org, or one of the platforms below.

DON'T NEGLET YOUR INNER CHILD!!!

Adulting is exhausting.

That’s why we’re bringing the #BigOldKidsParty to the @PoetLifeFest in Washington, DC.

This is an adults-only joy centered space where you can laugh loud, play hard, and reconnect with the version of yourself that didn’t need a reason to have fun.

Because when we’re better to the kids inside of us, we’re better to the kids around us.

Pull up. Play. Heal. Repeat.

7/25/26 from 11am-7pm
