National Sober Active Community

The Phoenix Philadelphia

The Phoenix Philly offers free sober events and community experiences - workouts, art, meetups, and more - all grounded in connection and mutual support. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting a loved one, or just looking for substance-free connection, our doors are open. Our programs reflect the spirit of Philly: bold, welcoming, and full of heart. All you need to show up is 48 hours of sobriety. Come as you are. Together, we rise.

What This Means for North Philadelphia

Starting in Spring of 2026, the people of Philly will have access to: Free programming, 7 days a week; Fitness, art, support groups, and community events right in your neighborhood; a community center space where local substance use and mental health organizations can support you and your neighbors; connection to regional resources through our volunteer programs across the Delaware Valley. This vibrant hub will become the heart of substance-free community in North Philadelphia, creating connections that strengthen recovery and wellness for everyone. With easy public transit access, we're building something that serves the whole region while staying deeply rooted in the neighborhood.

What This Means for North Philadelphia

Building on 10 Years of Community Impact

We're building North Philadelphia's first free sober community center, a vibrant hub for fitness, art, support groups, and community events. This space will strengthen our neighborhood by bringing people together and creating positive energy where everyone can find belonging. For nearly a decade, we've been serving Philadelphia, supporting more than 5,000 people on their recovery journeys. This new center builds on the uplifting work we've already been doing throughout the Delaware Valley area - now with a home base where community can truly take root and grow. Help us make this vision a reality.

The Phoenix thrives because of our incredible community partners: local organizations and businesses who share their space, time, and resources to make our free programming possible. Together, we're building a stronger, more inclusive recovery movement across Philadelphia. Passionate about community, wellness, or recovery support? We'd love to connect.
