Alumni teams consult to nonprofit organizations in a variety of sectors - including arts and culture, education, environment, healthcare, human services, and international development - to address key managerial issues that may focus on strategic planning, marketing, operations, or board governance. 

The objective of these community partner programs is to facilitate a strong connection between HBS alumni and the 

communities where they live and work. The programs which are supported by local HBS alumni clubs provide opportunities

for alumni to become involved with the local nonprofit community as well as meet other alumni who share a common interest in community service.  In addition to consulting projects,  many alumni subsequenty join nonprofit boards and in some cases choose to make a career move to the nonprofit sector.

In 2008, the HBS Community Partners programs were honored by the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation  for their commitment to providing volunteer business consulting services to nonprofits in various regions throughout the United States.

If you're interested in participating and/or have questions about the programs, please view your local program's website (see links below) and get in touch with the local contact.   For information about how to start an alumni-led program, contact the programs below or email Kathy Salmanowitz at ksalmanowitz@mba1978.hbs.edu
