Youth Programs

Ready for the Future

Our youth programs help young Pittsburghers acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and mindsets needed to take action on global issues. We seek to work alongside and amplify the voices of young people to be the leaders of today.

Public Programs

Just and Equitable

In addition to locally relevant, accessible, and meaningful public programming on global issues, we amplify the stories of people whose voices often go unheard, while demonstrating how global issues intersect with local issues of relevance to Pittsburghers.

Your support means the world to us. Literally.

We value and celebrate difference for the many ways it enriches our communities. When we engage with others, we choose to listen actively, think critically, respond responsibly, and be open to being changed. We are compelled to take action toward a better future for everyone.
