Penn’s Village has performed background checks on volunteers. We have also compiled a list of vetted, preferred service providers who will charge members directly for their services, often at negotiated rates.

	''From the Membership ~~Applicaiton~~''		'''From the Membership Application'''

	Membership is $600 annually<br>Penn’s Village is a non-profit organization created to enhance the quality of life of residents in Center City Philadelphia neighborhoods by providing and linking members to supportive services and providing social and educational opportunities. Penn’s Village has arranged for screened volunteers, when they are available, to provide certain services at no additional charge to members. Penn’s Village has performed background checks on volunteers. We have also compiled a list of vetted, preferred service providers who will charge members directly for their services, often at negotiated rates. Although Penn’s Village will facilitate your contacts with preferred service providers, you will contract directly with them; you and/or your insurance company will be billed for their services. Penn’s Village will monitor services provided to members to ensure a consistent level of quality. Although we strive to provide members with the services they request, Penn’s Village cannot take the place of a health care provider, an assisted living facility or nursing home for those who require medical care or custodial services.
