Mission Statement
The mission of Pittsburgh Cares is to maximize the impact of our regional nonprofit partners and to advance a culture of civic engagement in the city of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh Cares works to encourage Pittsburghers to help one another by providing ways to get involved through volunteerism. Through our work, we are able to connect 12,000 people to meaningful volunteer service projects at nearly 300 nonprofit organizations each year. Our Youth Engaged in Service program educates youth and children about the value of service-learning, a variety of causes and impact areas, and enables them to volunteer directly at nonprofits who address those issues.
