Who we are

Our Mission
To engage Philadelphians in their community by increasing opportunities for volunteerism
Our Vision
Creating & fostering an accessible service community that impacts positive change in Philadelphia
Our Values
We focus on our three primary Value Pillars: Education, Health and Human Services, and Sustainability. These pillars guide our monthly second Saturday events and who we partner with.
Our goal is to increase our impact in our Philadelphia community every year. 2020 was a uniquely challenging year, but we’re so proud of the way the Philadelphia and the VU PHL community came together. Read more about our impact in 2020.
We are also committed to growing to be a more inclusive, anti-racist organization. Our goal is to consciously reflect the diversity of Philadelphia, and we acknowledge we have work to do. Read more about our commitment.
