Our Parent Organization
The Netter Center at the University of Pennsylvania
CSSP operates within the Netter Center, a hub for civic engagement.
Among other goals, the Netter Center aims to “[bring] together the resources and assets of both the University and the wider community to help solve universal problems such as poverty, health inequities, environmental sustainability, and inadequate, unequal education as they are manifested in the University’s local geographic area of West Philadelphia and Philadelphia at large.”
