Heights Philadelphia is a result of a merger between Philadelphia Futures and Steppingstone Scholars back in 2022. Starting in middle school and through college, they mentor students preparing them for life after school. 

Not only do mentors at Heights help students with their school and college selections they provide stipends to college students, ensuring they can live until students are able to find a work study job. Upon college graduation, Heights works with students as they try to navigate the job market.
