Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Call or email the Community School Coordinator, Lyndell Mason, at (267) 226-5850 or lyndell.mason@phila.gov, and ask about the open volunteer roles..
What to expect
The coordinator's listed office hours are weekdays, 8:30 am to 5 pm, so that is the best time to call. The school's programs include after school learning, family events, and student support. The site does not say how long a shift runs, so ask the coordinator.
Tips for your first visit
- Call the coordinator on a weekday between 8:30 am and 5 pm, when the listed office hours run.
- Ask what paperwork or clearances come before a first shift, since the City page does not list them.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The City's school page names a coordinator to contact, and the volunteer listing is open to the public. Whether clearances apply to this school was not confirmed this run..
