Wharton MBA's partner on community project
More than 100 volunteers from the Wharton MBA program partner with Alumnus, KaBoom!, and local Philadelphia school to build a playground.
Community Involvement
At Wharton, students make an impact on campus, in our local community, and in the wider national and global community. Wharton supports students’ active involvement through the Wharton Graduate Association, which brings together Wharton and Penn faculty, students, and external organizations to find entrepreneurial business solutions for social problems.
Rebuilding Together
This group organizes a three-week event during which each MBA cohort rehabilitates a house in the spring semester. Now part of a national volunteer movement, it started in 1988 as "Christmas in April," organized by a group of Wharton MBA students.
Social Impact Club
Part of this club's mission is to build and support a strong Wharton community of socially conscious students. More »

Student Profile
“All first year cohorts participated in a program called Rebuilding Together Philadelphia. It was a nice way to spend time with your new colleagues outside the classroom while doing something that is meaningful for the local community.”
