HBS Alumni Clubs that are Actively Engaged in Community Impact Work
Globally, HBS alumni clubs are impacting social change in their communities by engaging with both organizations and individual leaders. Through a diverse range of programs and initiatives, there are many ways to get involved. From pro-bono consulting and mentoring with local businesses, non-profits, and community leaders, to serving on nonprofit boards and fundraising, HBS alumni are dedicated to driving meaningful change. Additionally, many HBS alumni clubs provide scholarships for local leaders of nonprofits to attend HBS Executive Education programs for social impact leaders at HBS.

“Boston CASA is incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with CAP. In eight months, they fast-tracked our ability to develop a comprehensive strategic growth model, which likely would have taken several years and thousands of dollars to achieve on our own. They completed the goal of delivering on every question outlined in our proposal and exceeded our expectations. The interchange in learning made it a much richer and more productive experience, and we were impressed by their thoroughness, efficiency, and approach to engaging our team as true partners throughout the process. CAP developed a well-thought-out, researched plan, and Boston CASA can confidently move forward with a bold, audacious goal to increase the number of abused and neglected children we serve in Suffolk and Middlesex Juvenile Courts from 15 percent to 47 percent over the next five years. We're excited and feel well-prepared and equipped in our ability to make it happen!” - Nicole Stewart, Boston CASA Executive Director
