Happening now

Empowering young leaders

This fall, 300 students from 15 high schools launched and took part in community conservation projects across Allegheny County. In 2025, we’re dramatically expanding the program, adding schools and students and building their future — here.

Retaining college students

We’ve helped relaunch the Pittsburgh Passport, connecting our area’s 130,000 college students with regional amenities. We’re also demystifying the visa process so regional employers can hire and keep more of our 12,000 foreign-born students.

Showcasing new contributors

To reverse our extremely low percentage of foreign-born citizens, we must first understand the obstacles they face and the contributions they make. Our immigration journalism project is doing just that, creating and placing stories in news outlets across the region.
