Truancy Case Management (TCM)

Truancy Case Management (TCM) program works in partnership with Philadelphia’s Department of Human Services (DHS) and the School District of Philadelphia (SDP) to improve school attendance and academic achievement through three tiers of services. Services focus on early interventions and case management with children, youth and their families. Referrals are retrieved through school partners and sent by truancy court.

Students and families may be linked into SEAMAAC’s other educational and health programs in an effort to bring about an atmosphere of holistic program exchange and life-long learning. The program goals are to resolve truancy issues and facilitate families’ ability to develop positive relationships that promote well-being and permanency of children in the home, community and school environment.

Urban Arts Entrepreneurship Program (UAEP)

SEAMAAC’s Urban Arts Entrepreneurship Program (formally Hip Hop Heritage) hosts afterschool and summer programs. In conjunction with Career Connected Learning (C2L); our mission is to build and support a multi-racial, multi-ethnic community of Philadelphia youth. H3 supports youth in identifying and pursuing access to educational and employment opportunities in the creative and performing arts.

The Urban Arts Entrepreneurship Program (UAEP) is a project-based learning program focusing on the hip hop arts. Students develop work-readiness skills through a project learning model. Our program provides comprehensive training through the core elements of hip hop.

Youth build cross-cultural bridges through community projects, civic engagement using hip hop arts as vehicles to effect social change and tell their stories of the urban experience.
