Anthony Wright (W’26) shares his experience taking MGMT 3530: Wharton Field Challenge, an Academically Based Community Service (ABCS) course in which University of Pennsylvania students teach financial literacy concepts to West Philadelphia middle- and high-school students: https://whr.tn/4g845Ni
Taught by Prof. Keith Weigelt, MGMT 3530 prepares Penn students to volunteer in local schools by equipping them with teaching techniques, classroom leadership strategies, and financial literacy education. They then apply these skills while working one-on-one with students in local middle and high schools.
Offered through the Netter Center for Community Partnerships at Penn, ABCS courses like MGMT 3530 connect faculty and students with West Philadelphia organizations to help solve critical campus and community problems, including environmental, health, arts, and education issues.
