VOLUNTEER SERVICE DAYS

If you are more skilled in manual labor, we have various projects related to keeping our facility in good condition.  We have projects for all skill levels ranging from organizing and cleaning to carpentry and landscaping!

SERVICE GROUPS

For groups interested in a more structured, multi-day youth engagement experience, we invite you to explore A Common Youth Initiative (ACYI) — an immersive program designed to engage young people in service, leadership development, and community impact projects focused on education, food access, and neighborhood sustainability.

To schedule a service opportunity or learn more about ACYI, please contact our office or email acyi@thecommonplacephilly.org.
