SUMMARY:Earth Day Stewardship Saturday Volunteer Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Join us with your family to help the Riverbend Preserve blossom!\n\n\nVolunteers are invited to help ready the preserve for the spring and summer seasons. This event is free and open to all. \nSpring is a wonderful time to plant trees and work on the preserve just before the warmth of summer! Planting trees and tending gardens at the preserve helps to combat climate change and helps to maintain our local water supply as the trees we plant keep runoff from heading to the Schuylkill River watershed. \nRegistration is required as spaces are limited. Please bring your own water and work gloves to the event. \nThis is a Riverbend PAY WHAT YOU WISH Event: \nThe true cost to Riverbend to offer this educational event to the public is $35 per family. We recognize that for some families\, this is unaffordable. Therefore\, we invite you to choose the price you wish to pay for this event. In doing so\, you help make environmental education accessible to ALL children\, regardless of their family’s financial situation.

SUMMARY:Campus Architecture & History Tour for Int'l Day of Monuments and Sites
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate IDMS with a guided history and architectural tour behind the 10-foot wall of Girard College .\n\n\nDid you know Philadelphia is home to 67 of the country’s 2\,618 National Historic Landmarks? On the weekend of April 19\, many of Philadelphia’s landmarks will offer special events as part of an annual celebration of the International Day of Monuments and Sites (IDMS) organized by the Global Philadelphia Association. \nWe will be celebrating IDMS with a guided walking tour behind the famous 10-foot wall of Girard College with Director of Historical Resources Kathy Haas. As we stroll around this 43-acre oasis in the middle of the city\, we’ll examine the campus as it exists today\, along with archival drawings and photographs that document its design\, history\, and growth. \nWe’ll look at the monumental architecture of Founder’s Hall\, a National Historic Landmark\, as well as other sites on our campus\, all of which is on the National Register. We will also touch on Stephen Girard\, the 19th-century multi-millionaire who left his fortune to create a school for financially-disadvantaged children; the generations of students who have lived and learned here (and still do); and the powerful civil rights activism that led to the school’s desegregation. \nThe tour will begin and end at Founder’s Hall. The museum in Founder’s Hall is open 10-2\, so feel free to come early or stay afterwards to explore the exhibit. \n \nBefore you go\n\nThis walk will cover about 3/4 mile and will include stairs and uneven surfaces\nBecause Girard College is an active school\, you will quickly check in with security when arriving on campus.\nParking is available for free on-site; we are also accessible by several bus lines and are a half-mile walk from the Girard Avenue subway stop.\nCheck out www.foundershall.org for more information about our programs\, collections\, and online resources
