Whether it’s within the nonprofit, public, or private sector, HBS alumni pursue a variety of managerial, entrepreneurial, voluntary, and philanthropic roles in socially driven pursuits at various stages of their personal and professional lives.
We aspire to connect you with each other, share with you the latest faculty research and innovative ideas from the field, and bring you together to work on solutions for our world’s most complex social issues.
To inspire and support alumni serving on nonprofit boards
The OnBoard program was created to develop alumni leadership skills critical for modern governance. OnBoard consists of virtual synchronous sessions on current issues, opportunities to connect with other alumni, and other HBS resources on governance.
The Leadership Collaborative is designed to connect and support alumni deeply engaged in social impact as a career and who are currently working full time in the field. This community serves as a peer network for education, problem solving, and support. Our goal is for alumni to share their latest thinking and practices on issues of critical relevance to the sector, to come together to examine problems of practice, and to examine the distinctive joys and challenges of a career in social impact.
Stay connected with other alumni interested in social enterprise while you build lifelong relationships with MBA students, fellow alumni, and Executive Education participants.
