Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email or call the Community School Coordinator, Undretta Williams, at undretta.williams@phila.gov or (267) 438-7945 to ask how to volunteer..
What to expect
The City page does not describe a volunteer visit, so ask the coordinator what a first day looks like and what role is open. The listed activities include school events, resource fairs, family forums, parent cafes, and after-school programs. The coordinator's office hours are 8:30 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
Tips for your first visit

- Call during weekday office hours, 8:30 am to 5 pm.

Newcomer welcome
