Your first visit

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

First step: Call (215) 324-0746 or visit 4261 North 5th Street and ask which community meetings or programs fit you..

What to expect

The site does not describe a community meeting, volunteer shift, or class schedule, so ask at the office what is running. Its neighborhood work includes door to door outreach, daily street cleaning on the commercial corridor, tree planting, food outreach, and community fairs. The page does not say how long a first visit takes or what it costs.

Tips for your first visit

  • Ask whether the community meetings are open to residents or mainly to business owners.
  • The office is at 4261 North 5th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19140.

Newcomer welcome

Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The site lists programs and events and says to call or visit, but it does not say how to join the neighborhood meetings or volunteer..
