Thursday Gatherings don’t just happen on their own. Besides the Venture Café Philadelphia staff, a team of volunteers (aka, Ambassadors) help produce the magic. If you like fostering connections at our events, greeting people as they visit, or serving up a drink to a thirsty innovator, we want to talk to you! Visit our Ambassador page for more information on how to join our awesome team.
