Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Sign up for the mailing list on the group's website so you hear about the next exhibit, film or workshop..
What to expect
The events page lists no upcoming dates, so a first visit depends on the next announcement. Volunteer roles are unpaid, limited in number, and tailored to each person, so expect to talk with the group before you start.
Tips for your first visit
- Call 215-726-1106 before you plan to volunteer, since places are limited.
- The volunteer page says fluency in languages other than English is especially welcome.
- Check the events page for the next exhibit, film or workshop to see what the group offers.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Events are announced to the mailing list, but volunteer roles are few and placed one at a time after a phone call, and the events page lists no upcoming dates..
