The Netter Center for Community Partnerships works to create mutually beneficial partnerships between Penn and West Philadelphia.
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. - See more at: http://www.nettercenter.upenn.edu/about-us/our-mission
