Your first visit

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

First step: Call 215-848-7722 to ask about classes, membership and volunteer openings. The PA 211 listing says to call or email for the volunteer application..

Check with the group before you show up.

What to expect

Listings describe exercise and art classes, card games, line dancing, meals and social gatherings for people 55 and older. Class times and prices could not be checked on the center's own site, so call first to confirm what is running.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call 215-848-7722 before you visit to confirm class times
  • Ask whether a membership or fee is needed before you sign up for a class

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The center's own site could not be read, and the listings we could see do not explain how a new member joins, so the way in is unclear..

Cost and commitment

Cost
Free. No class, meal or membership prices were on any page we could read. The center relies on donations, according to a 2019 news article.
