ABOUT MAKE THE WORLD BETTER
Make The World Better (MTWB) works to connect people and inspire stewardship through public space
revitalization projects. MTWB is a 501(c)3 public charity founded in 2013 by Connor Barwin, during his
first season playing for the Philadelphia Eagles. In spring 2018, MTWB merged with partner organization,
Urban Roots, founded in 2008 by Jeffrey Tubbs. 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. The organization has completed four park revitalization projects in Philadelphia
including Ralph Brooks Park (Point Breeze), Smith Playground (West Passyunk), Waterloo Playground
(Kensington) and Vare Recreation Center (Grays Ferry). For more information please visit
