Make The World Better Foundation connects people and inspires stewardship through public space revitalization projects. MTWB believes that communities prosper when all people have access to high-quality public spaces that provide safe outlets for recreation, sports, and arts-based activities.

Connor Barwin and his mom Margaret founded the Make The World Better Foundation (MTWB) in 2013 during his first season playing for the Philadelphia Eagles. They later teamed up with Jeffrey Tubbs, founder of Philly-based youth mentor org Urban Roots, whose track record of responsible, environmentally sustainable, and inclusive real estate projects made him a great choice to become a Co-Founding Member of MTWB.

MTWB believes that community-based redevelopment projects have a unique ability to strengthen neighborhoods by creating a sense of ownership over public spaces. 

MTWB has completed three park revitalization projects in Philadelphia including Ralph Brooks Park (Point Breeze), Smith Playground (West Passyunk), and Waterloo Playground (Kensington), with the Vare Recreation Center being their largest, most ambitious project to date.
