Intercommunity Action, Inc.

Intercommunity Action, Inc. - Interact - is a private, nonprofit corporation established in 1969 to meet the human services needs of the residents of "Catchment Area 6A": the Andorra, Roxborough, Manayunk, Wissahickon, East Falls, and Nicetown neighbor hoods of Northwest Philadelphia. Most of Interact's services are located in these neighborhoods, but today Interact serves residents of other parts of Philadelphia and the suburban counties as well. Interact's more than 200 staff provide a wide variety of programs that focus on our mission of "helping people cope with the problems and stresses of daily living and helping individuals achieve maximum potential and quality of life. Interact addresses the concerns of children, youth, adults, and the aging through the provision of programs which deal with age related challenges, mental health, substance abuse problems and developmental disabilities." More than two dozen programs - residential, outpatient, day services, and case management - have been developed to carry out this mission.
