Your first visit

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

First step: Call 215-883-0109 or email la21info@la21philly.org and ask how neighbors can take part in the registered community organization..

What to expect

Most of what the group lists is business help: one-on-one office hours on the second Thursday of the month at 10 am, plus online office hours. The site does not describe a first visit for neighbors, so start with a call.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call before you come, since the site lists no neighbor meeting dates or times.
  • The group lists two locations: 3500 Lancaster Avenue and 3675 Market Street.
  • If you decide to join, the non-business membership is $45 a year.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The site gives a phone number and an email, but it lists no neighbor meeting dates, and membership costs $45 a year or more, so the way in for neighbors is unclear..

Cost and commitment

Cost
Low cost. Membership is billed yearly: $45 a year for non-business owners, $150 a year for business owners, and $500 a year for corporate sponsors. The site lists no prices for office hours or events.
