  • Sponsorships

    We thank the following for supporting the Arts League in 2008-2009:     The SCI-West mission is to "Improve whole communities by making them healthier, more competitive, and better connected with the economic mainstream." The purpose of the SCI-West Community Grant Award is to support the efforts of community-based groups to implement small projects that support the mission of SCI-West. The SCI-West Community Grant Awards are funded by the Local Initiative Support Corporation (LISC) and offered in collaboration between the four SCI-West project partners that include: the Enterprise Center CDC, the Partnership CDC, the University City District, and the People's Emergency Center CDC. UCAL will partner with these organizations to provide student scholarship funding to their members.

  • Escort Services

    As an extension of Penn's safety escort service, the University City District Public Safety Program has brought UC Walk to the community. Those needing someone to walk them to transportation, a meeting, a class at the Arts League or home can call 215-898-WALK (9255), and an ambassador will be dispatched.
