Grant Opportunity

Grant Impact in a Philadelphia Community

During this project I can confidently say I learned more than in any class throughout my undergraduate degree. The opportunity to connect with a community I thought was so different than my own, and with so much stigma and discussion around it was truly an eye opening experience for me. I have heard about and had abstract discussions about the needs of Philly and even Kensington specifically during my time at Penn, but being there I was able to see the people living there as just that -- real people living lives more similar to mine than different.
