BY THE QUOTES

VOICES FROM PARTNERS
HBS team members are extremely caring, thoughtful and engaged. They assisted [us] in a complex strategic planning process that will result in an effective roadmap to guide our agency over the next five years
Phil Ginsburd General Manager of SF Rec and Parks
HBS community partners created a great benefit. They basically helped us get from vision to implementation, which is awfully hard. They were essential at getting from a great idea into something that has become real
San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed
What a tremendous service — simple, focused, and productive.
Jack Woodruff Executive Director, Aspire Education
Working with Community Partners on this project accelerated our organization’s progress by a full nine to twelve months.

By The Years

  • Old Files

    1987-1988

    1987-1988 was all about the Bay Area Arts! With one of our first ever series of projects, learn about the process when it comes to picking a theme, planning the non-profits, conducting research, and finally the results of our assistance. Specifically, learn how Harvard Buisness School Community Partners (HBSCP) conducted extensive study and market analysis to help museums, theatres, orchestras, and more through old documents, letters, and plans!

  • 2012

    In 2012, Harvard Business School Community Partners (HBSCP) of Northern California had a milestone year, engaging 167 alumni volunteers across 17 nonprofit projects. They introduced 2-hour Brainstorming Sessions for lighter volunteer engagement and launched 10 new consulting projects. The organization expanded its Steering Committee and formed partnerships to help alumni join nonprofit boards—broadening its impact across the Bay Area’s nonprofit community.
