This year 2018 is a very special time for the Philadelphia Chapter. Ten years ago, there were no TTN Mingles, Community involvement, Special Interest Groups, Transition Peer Groups or any of the wonderful events that bring us together to enjoy culture, art, food and, above all, each other.
We now have over 390 members in The TTN Philadelphia Chapter and growing.
The
Philadelphia
Chapter
is a volunteer-run and managed organization. We manage every aspect of our chapter: planning, organizing, and coordinating all that is involved in delivering the activities we all enjoy.
Become a Chapter Volunteer! As a volunteer, you will meet and work with so many terrific women while becoming an integral part of our chapter's growth.
Our Chapter is successful because of committed volunteers like you.
If you would like to know more about your chapter and discover all the wonderful opportunities to shape its direction, please contact me.
 Warm Regards,

Giving Circle News

Our grant will go towards hiring additional specialists to provide intensive, evidence based support to some of the 250 youths aging out of foster care this year in Philadelphia.
After the formalities were over we had the chance to chat with some of the Turning Points team. They shared some of their successes, such as giving a client the keys to her first apartment, as well as the many frustrations that go along with their jobs. We could not have been more impressed with this group of competent, dedicated professionals.
Don't miss the chance to meet this exceptional group at our
Kickoff Event on October 11th.
