Our story
Philadelphia Family is not just a publisher or a social group — we are a dynamic presence that harnesses the power of both traditional and new media to unite and connect. Our mix of social media and events with print and digital projects create a modern, living network of influential families who support each other, share their knowledge, and celebrate the city as their children’s amazing backyard.
Who are we? To put it simply, we are just like you. We began as a simple local moms’ group, and have grown to be a community of parents dedicated to our families, our homes, and — when we find the time — to ourselves. Philadelphia Family is passionately run by a group of dedicated professionals, many of whom are area parents themselves. Meet the gang.
What do we offer?
Philadelphia Family’s calling card is our dynamic nature, reaching out to our local community through a wide range of platforms. Our mix of social media, print, digital, and in-person projects allow us to both use the latest technology and bring people together in a traditional fashion. We have built a network of people — across five counties, all income levels, and every possible definition of what a family is — who support each other through one of the most difficult and rewarding experiences in life.
Social Media
Like us? People love us! Our dynamic Facebook community group is a place for stroller swapping, playdate organizing, and sleep-deprived discussions, while our business page keeps followers in the know. Our Twitter following includes a flock of social savvy parents and family-centric businesses.

Here's what other families are saying about their involvement with Cupola Academy:
“CA has been the most wonderful gift to our family because it has made my 16 year old son so happy and excited about learning. He loves to share, with enthusiasm, all about the cool things they learned each day. He has made wonderful friends and is surrounded by talented, caring, creative, and fun staff members. These are definitely memories and experiences my son will never forget! This makes me so happy. I cannot thank CA enough for being such an important part of my son’s life.”
- Maureen, CA Parent
“Our three youth, ages 11, 12, and 15 attend Cupola Academy. We'd recommend CA because of the intellectually stimulating and genuinely pro-social environment. We also value highly the opportunity to connect with like-minded families who are invested in Partnership Education. We place a lot of value on raising youth who are socially conscious, contributing members of society. The fact that all CA facilitators and eligible youth are vaccinated against COVID-19 supports the value we place on respecting and protecting our broader community.”
- Emily, CA Parent

Philadelphia serial child s*x offender Howard Rubin aka "Philly Hip Hop Cop" pleads guilty to molesting underage boys while working security at various Philadelphia area youth programs and schools.
Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney Sanhita Sen of our Special Investigations Unit (SIU) helped secure justice recently in a case involving a former school security officer, Howard Rubin, who pleaded guilty to s*xually abusing two juveniles in 2013. The defendant was arrested and charged in 2020. Evidence included two incriminating Mirandized statements he made to law enforcement, phone records and text messages, prison calls, a string of other misconduct allegations from various sources, a lengthy trail of court documents indicating how the defendant used the justice system against young men to perpetuate his predatory behavior, in addition to statements from the two survivors. ADA Sen believes, based on the obtained text messages and admissions from the defendant himself, that the defendant has inflicted harm on other youth as well. Others who have been victimized by this defendant are strongly encouraged to contact the SIU:
[email protected] or 215-686-9608. He is scheduled for sentencing before the Hon. Zachary Shaffer in January 2022.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Red Brick Committee Hosts Gilberto Gonzalez Launch Party for Political Office Exploratory Committee
Philadelphia, Saturday, July 28, 2021- Red Brick Committee announces the first Launch Party for Gilberto Gonzalez as he explores a run for political office, backed by a coalition of grassroots community activists. The event will be held at Half-Times Good Times, 120 Diamond Street Philadelphia PA 19122, beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Gonzalez has a long history of activism and is committed to making a positive, measurable difference for the people who live in the city he loves. With challenges including deep poverty, addiction and gun violence worsening, Gonzalez and his team are committed to being an authentic voice representing the citizens of Philadelphia, the state and the nation. Gonzalez joins a movement of activists who aim to shake up the political status quo. “We have the opportunity to change the policies and laws as well as the leadership that has failed us, '' said Gonzalez. “We will craft innovative legislation to move Philadelphia from the poorest of America’s large cities to a city of growth and prosperity, and a place where people living in addiction, poverty and non-violent offenders have a chance at a better life.” Dr. Martin Luther King said “A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.” Gonzalez and his coalition believe change is possible and now is the time for new leadership and innovation. Gonzalez said, “Philadelphia has the potential of lifting up the lives of its citizens to become an example for the rest of the nation.
“A New Voice in Politics. Yours!”
