That coffee was totally necessary this morning. Feelin’ me?
Sadly, our Big Green Party scheduled for this Friday must be postponed due to extenuating circumstances. Over 200 of you were more than psyched for this event, and we can’t wait to bring in the new year with you to celebrate with a bigger, badder party.
Ready to get yourself psyched for the week? Whether you’re jealous of the GREEN Program’s pending journey to Peru, City Council’s transit choices or SEPTA accessibility, catch up on the news you missed this Monday and then get ready for an amazing week of events. Young Involved Philly’s State of Young Philly is nonstop full of events, plus these great ones for you.
