In the October 28, 2021 World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia What's Happening Newsletter, there is an opportunity to volunteer at the airport as a part of their new initiative. There is an opportunity to attend a webinar in November on Funding U.S.-Israeli Innovation. Lastly, there is still an opportunity to attend one of the climate change webinars. Have a great weekend!

Philadelphia International Airport is proud to announce its new initiative to attract and retain qualified volunteers, across multiple demographics, who will serve as catalysts to provide relevant information and foster meaningful interaction with travelers as they’re welcomed to our region.

The  PHL Volunteer Navigator program is a community-centered evolution and expansion of the Philadelphia International Airport’s mission and commitment to warmly, proactively, approachable, and reliably, enhance the guest experience through every single touch point.   

PHL is looking for volunteers who love Philly, want to meet new people, be part of a dedicated airport team, and experience the airport behind-the-scenes. Please click on the link for detailed information about the program--its perks and requirements--along with the application of interest.
