OUR STORY
Working Towards a Better Tomorrow
Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks.
Caribbean Community in Philadelphia emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words.
Established in 2013, CCP under our umbrella organization, UROC of Philadelphia (Urban Resources and Opportunities Center) which began in 2010).
We’re a subsidiary program organization with 4 main initiatives: Health, Education, Sports, Arts & Culture.
We're driven by progressive ideas, bold actions, and a strong foundation of connected organization support.
