Welcome to the Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Westchester
Our mission:
- to connect Harvard alumni and parents of current Harvard students with each other and back to Harvard,
- to build a spirit of community and camaraderie among our members,
- to promote the goodwill of Harvard,
- to support Harvard within Westchester County.
We offer a rich agenda of in-person and virtual programming and opportunities for community involvement. Our Harvard Book Prize is one of the most successful in the nation, and we provide a stipend to a local Harvard student for an internship in a non-profit organization.
We depend on our members, volunteers and generous donors to sustain our activities.
