Your first visit

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

First step: Fill in the Volunteer Sign-Up form for the Thursday Center City outreach, or email connect@ywamphiladelphia.org to ask how to join..

What to expect

On a Thursday in Center City, volunteers work a table under a recognizable banner, listen to people who stop by, ask how they can pray for them, and pray with them. Volunteers come from many churches, and talk about faith often grows out of these conversations. The page does not say how long a shift runs or what to wear, so ask the team before your first Thursday.

Tips for your first visit

  • Look for the recognizable banner at the Thursday Center City table.
  • When you reach out, send your name, your church or group if you have one, and the outreach you want to join.
  • Photos on the site show volunteers in red vests, but the page does not say that is required.
  • Call (412) 600-1096 or email connect@ywamphiladelphia.org with questions before you come.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The site invites people to join the Thursday outreach, links a volunteer sign-up form, and gives an email address. It does not say beginners are welcome or whether a single visit is fine, so the rating stays at 3..
