Philadelphia Assoc-Paralegals

RFA is a Philadelphia-based, non-profit organization engaged in education research and evaluation. Founded in 1992, RFA works with public school districts, educational institutions, and community organizations to improve the educational opportunities for those traditionally disadvantaged by race/ethnicity, class, gender, language/cultural difference, and ability/disability. Research for Action was founded by women who aimed to connect their social activism, feminist beliefs, and professional practice as education researchers. Basic tenets for RFA's approach to evaluation emerge from feminist theory. RFA continues to draw national attention as an organization that exemplifies the value of being a locally-focused, applied research organization. We were mentioned in a recent issue of Voices in Urban Education ( VUE ), published by the Annenberg Institute for School Reform, as being an organization that typifies the kind of close relationship that helps bridge the gap between research and practice and ensures that research is attuned to local conditions.

The US Committee Sports for Israel, based in Philadelphia, PA, is dedicated to fostering Jewish pride and promoting support for Israel through athletic, educational, and cultural experiences. With a vision of harnessing the power of sports to strengthen Jewish identity and community, the organization serves participants of all ages across the United States. Maccabi USA, a prominent initiative of the committee, organizes events like the Maccabiah Games, which bring together Jewish athletes from around the world. In light of recent events, the organization has committed to supporting displaced Israelis while adapting to challenges, including postponing the 2025 Maccabiah until summer 2026 to ensure the safety and unity of its community.
