About Me

The Building: Formally a factory turned crack house. The city of Philadelphia’s weed and seed program along with the aide and cooperation of the police department confiscated the abandoned building from an inner city neighborhood gang.
The Program: With various donations and the help from the city’s weed and seed program. The Griffin Academy for Youth Protection was formed. The program was created to provide kids with a safe after school environment, as well as a fun and educational experiences. The Griffin Academy also provides other special programs for people of all ages.
The Mission: At The Griffin Academy our motto is “Helping Children Help Themselves” We offer various activities, educational aide and special programs for anyone seeking help. If you are willing to take one step, the trusted staff at Griffin Academy will do everything in there power to take two steps to assist you. Welcome to The Griffin Academy for Youth Protection.
