Join the Office of Mission and Ministry for community service opportunities throughout the semester.
“Service is coming face to face with the needs and humanity of another. To be of service is to look the other in the eye, start a conversation, and recognize that our mutuality is greater than independence. We make meaning when we contribute our time, energy, and gifts to benefit the lives of others.”
Friends of the Wissahickon, official park partner of Philadelphia Parks and Recreation and the Philadelphia Water Department, conserves and improves the 2000-acre Wissahickon Valley Park. FOW’s dedicated community of members and volunteers have supported the wild beauty of the park since 1924. Staff and volunteers work with expert contractors and environmental scientists to mitigate stormwater runoff into the watershed, reduce erosion, and address the impacts on the native habitat posed by climate change. Volunteer hours and membership dollars support our work to sustain this special urban oasis.
Service at FOW includes assisting in conserving and improving the wild beauty of the Wissahickon. There are three opportunities this semester, and spots fill up quickly. Contact mcintyrer@chc.edu to sign up.
