Volunteer Opportunities

Dear Penn Community,

Thank you for your spirit of volunteerism. Many benefit from your willingness to share. We receive many expressions of gratitude from community members and agencies we have partnered with. The University community continues to work toward being good neighbors in our shared community.  We thank you for your overwhelming support and for your generosity.

Let us help you volunteer. The following are activities available to the Penn community:

Become a Mentor in the Penn Workplace Mentoring Program: Encourage 7th graders from a local school to do well in school. Talk to them about the importance of college. Share your area of expertise in your job with them and help them to think about their futures. Make a difference in the life of a young person! Mentors meet with students once a month from September to May. All sessions are held on Penn’s campus. Training is held in September. Volunteer today.

Join the Penn Team for: Making Strides of Philadelphia: Sunday, October 28, 8 a.m. Cooper River Park. There will be a planning meeting in September. Send your e-mail to be placed on the list.

Leftover conference bags, T-shirts, pens, etc.? Donate them to Penn VIPS.  We will share them with school children and members of the community.

Contact Isabel Mapp at sammapp@upenn.edu for additional information.
