The Fox Leadership Program partners with a number of local non-profit organizations to bolster their efforts as they support the broader Philadelphia community. Our local work primarily focuses on food insecurity and youth development issues within the city of brotherly love and the surrounding communities. With each of our local partners, we sponsor a number of experiential fellowships for undergraduate students that pair Penn students with the local leaders and changemakers at each organization.
