Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Create an account on septayac.org, then complete the application on the Apply page. You must be 18 to 25 and live or go to school in Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware or Montgomery county..
Check with the group before you show up.
What to expect
Members give SEPTA input on transit, table on campuses, track transit law, and run trainings. The site does not say how often members meet, how much time it takes, or whether members are paid. It notes that members often juggle full-time jobs or school alongside the council.
Tips for your first visit
- Apply early, since review is rolling and earlier applicants get looked at first.
- Check your age and where you live or study before you start, since both are rules for joining.
- Send questions to contact@septayac.org before you apply.
- The events page lists trainings such as the UPass training, a good sample of what members do.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: Members must apply online, review runs on a rolling basis with earlier applicants first, and the council only contacts applicants it wants to move forward with..
