We do not know the schedule yet. Ask the group.

We do not have a meeting place for this group yet.

You can join online.

Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Use the sign up link on the ACLU of Pennsylvania volunteer page, which opens an outside volunteer form, or email info@aclupa.org to ask about the Greater Philadelphia chapter..

Check with the group before you show up.

What to expect

The site lists four kinds of volunteer work: community outreach, direct action, lobbying elected officials, and behind the scenes support. It does not say how much time that takes, so ask the chapter what a typical month looks like before you sign up.

Tips for your first visit

  • Sign up for the newsletter to hear about local events
  • Email info@aclupa.org with the county you live in to ask about the Greater Philadelphia chapter, which covers Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties
  • Ask about the next chapter event and whether a first timer can join it

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Volunteer and chapter sign up is open to people across the state, with a form and a chapter email, but the site gives no detail on a first step or an orientation..
