Your first visit

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

First step: Call the mosque at (215) 765-2743 to ask about joining. For the Youth Club, call the youth coordinator at (215) 765-0607 and ask about open spots, since spaces are limited..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

For kids, the Youth Club mixes service projects, such as making care packages and visiting senior homes, with art and fun activities. Parents are invited to help on trips and service days. The Peacewalk provides shuttle buses, so walkers can park and ride to the start.

Tips for your first visit

  • Parking is available, according to the Outreach page.
  • Call ahead, since the site does not post program times or visiting hours.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The free mural workshops are open to the public, and the Youth Club has a named coordinator to contact. Youth Club spots are limited, and the site does not describe visitor steps for the other programs..
