Zion Teenshop is committed to community service. Each year we volunteer for the 6ABC Thanksgiving Day Parade, and last year we helped the organizers of the October Gallery Black Art Expo at Philadelphia's Convention Center. We also volunteered at Berean Presbyterian Church, our meeting site, to help with the The Community Food Closet, and as a result of that experience our teens personally donated non-perishable food items to stock the shelves.
Our annual college tours have included visits to the universities of Lincoln, Temple, Princeton, Delaware State and Albright College. We've also visited historical and cultural sites including the United Nations and the Stromberg Centers in New York City. On a trip to Washington, DC, we toured the African American Museum at the Smithsonian and viewed many of the historic buildings in the nation's capitol.
