| The University of Pennsylvania/West Philadelphia the Department of City and Regional Planning uses its Community Development Work Study Program (CDWSP) grant to benefit students through internship placements at agencies such as the City Planning Commission and the Partnership Community Development Corporation. The program enables students to participate in the ongoing community building efforts in West Philadelphia. Through the CDWSP, participants are linked to local high school students to engage them in educational projects designed to reduce dropout rates and increase the sense of empowerment and knowledge about the neighborhood. Upon graduation from this 2-year masters program, students are prepared for permanent employment in community building.
