Your first visit

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

First step: Call 215-765-5118 or use the contact form on the contact page of centeronline.com to ask about the program you want. Volunteers can use the volunteer form on the site..

Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

The site does not say how long a session lasts or what a first day looks like. It says participants receive equipment, instruction and training, and volunteers help at cycling and rowing days.

Tips for your first visit

  • Ask which program fits you first, since the site lists adult and youth programs separately.
  • The Boathouse at 1233 Martin Luther King Jr Drive has bike racks and free parking, according to the volunteer page.
  • The eligibility document needs a Google sign-in, so ask the office for a copy if you need one.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site has a program list open to people with disabilities, a contact form and a phone number. The eligibility document it links needs a sign-in to read, so the full steps to join are not known..
