Welcome to the Netter Center for Community Partnerships |

Founded in 1992, the Barbara and Edward Netter Center for Community
Partnerships is Penn’s primary vehicle for bringing to bear the broad
range of human knowledge needed to solve the complex, comprehensive,
and interconnected problems of the American city so that West
Philadelphia (Penn’s local geographic community), Philadelphia, the
University itself, and society benefit.

2007-08, Engage, Empower, Educate: A Focus on University-Assisted Community Schools and Education
Reform. We look forward to hearing your ideas on this Report as well
