NPP: A Rewarding Occidental Experience!

The mission of Occidental’s Neighborhood Partnership Program is to enrich the Occidental students’ college experience through partnerships with schools and community agencies in the Los Angeles area. These partnerships will emphasize the value of a post-secondary education by promoting community engagement, civic responsibility, self-empowerment, education, and leadership in adherence to Occidental’s mission.

During the 2017-18 academic year, nearly 100 Oxy students provided over 5,000 hours of college access and tutoring services to local students.
