Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Call 215-751-9300 or use the contact form on philadelphiamlk.org to ask about the next College for Teens session or the monthly food distribution. For the toy drive, follow the application steps on the toy page..
You need to sign up first.
What to expect
College for Teens is aimed at low-income students from minority communities, starting around age 12 in grade 7, and it runs through college. Its parts include after-school tutoring, a summer residency on a college campus, and year-round mentoring and career exposure, at no cost to students. The food distribution and toy drive are for families who qualify, and the toy drive needs an online application with proof that the children live with you and proof of income.
Tips for your first visit
- The office is on the 7th floor at 3001 Walnut Street, according to the site footer.
- For the toy drive, gather proof that the children live with you and proof of your income before you apply.
- Ask about College for Teens session dates by phone or the contact form, since the site does not list them.
- Watch for the toy drive email, which the page says arrives in early December, and check your spam folder.
