Widener's Community Partnerships

Widener partners with local organizations and civic groups to develop innovative community outreach programs in greater Philadelphia. Through service we stretch our minds and hearts, whether we’re teaching kids in Chester,  preparing taxes for low-income and disabled residents of Delaware County, or organizing an anti-bullying vigil for at-risk teens. We’re not afraid to go where the greatest need is. Widener students have built schoolhouses in Bolivia and installed solar panels in villages in Panama.

Widener’s community outreach programs will help you gain hands-on experience, hone your leadership skills, grow your professional network, and broaden your worldview.

We’re proud of the positive impact our students have made on the lives of individuals, families, and communities through many initiatives.
