About HBSC Community Partners Founded in 1986, Community Partners is a program of the Harvard Business School Club of New York. Our mission is to create constructive partnerships between Harvard Business School alumni and nonprofit organizations in the greater New York City area that are seeking assistance with business and management issues. We fulfill our mission by organizing teams of HBS alumni volunteers or individual coaches to provide pro bono consulting and business advice to local nonprofit organizations through well-defined coaching and consulting engagements. By donating time, management skills, and project leadership capacity, HBS alumni offer nonprofits cost-free access to the kind of professional expertise they may otherwise not be able to afford. In turn, our client nonprofit organizations offer HBS alumni volunteers opportunities to serve the community in which they live or work in a truly meaningful way.
