What they do

Teens ages 12 to 17 can register for the youth program, which covers self-care, book club discussions, leadership, college and career readiness, and travel. Teens ages 13 to 17 can join the monthly virtual book club. Young people can apply to be featured in the Top Influencers stories, which the feature page says is for ages 25 and under.

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 youth program through the Register Today form on the Events page, or for the virtual book club through the sign-up form on its page. Email info@phillyyouthinc.com with questions..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

After you sign up for the virtual book club, you get a welcome kit with the book of the month and login details. Meetings are online once a month, with a facilitator, discussion of the book and challenges tied to it. The site gives no meeting times and no fee for the book club.

Tips for your first visit

  • Read the month's book before the online meeting, since the discussion is about the book.
  • Have a device with internet access for the online meetings.
  • Ask whether donating is required to join, since the book club page does not say.
