Program Opportunities

All of the programs at The William Penn House have a goal of making a difference in the world.

Some engage participants in direct service activities, exposing them to conditions in the world that are often ignored, and empowering them with an opportunity to make a difference. Other programs inform people about how our social and political systems work, how things are interconnected, and how we can make a difference. Many combine both aspects of these experiences for more intensive learning.
