Congrats to Maya and Maria on their grant award from Penn's Projects for Progress, which is designed to seed impactful projects, grounded in outstanding Penn research, that will offer new ideas to enhance the quality of life for members of our Philadelphia community now and in the future. Their project, A Whole Community (AWC), will be a website that connects those who must complete court-mandated community service with organizations that are seeking volunteers. At the moment, those assigned community service in Philadelphia receive limited support in locating volunteer opportunities. AWC will make the process efficient, accessible, and reliable, benefitting both defendants and the wider Philadelphia community.
