Diversified Community Services is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Philadelphia, focusing on the Point Breeze neighborhood and nearby Grays Ferry communities. The organization provides early childhood education, youth development, and family development programs as core elements of its work, with an emphasis on children, youth, and families who are most vulnerable. It operates from a community-building perspective, guiding management decisions and service delivery to promote physical, economic, and social development throughout the neighborhood. Founded as an incorporated organization in 1968, DCS traces its roots to University of Pennsylvania settlement house camps in the 1890s and has grown into the largest social service agency in Point Breeze, serving nearly eight thousand individuals. Its activities are geographically focused on Point Breeze and surrounding South Philadelphia communities, prioritizing low-income and minority residents and aiming to advance long-term well-being. In 2015, the organization launched the Point Breeze Community and began applying a Two Generation Strategy that combines workforce training with high-quality early childcare education to support family self-sufficiency.
