Our target population includes children ages 6-18 from single parent families, low-income households, and underperforming schools. In many cases, these children have incarcerated parents, encounter bullying in school, and face other challenging circumstances that increase their susceptibility to negative outcomes.
Neighbors in Need
Neighbors in Need, or NIN, is a local non-profit based in the East End of Pittsburgh. As their name suggests, they are founded by the principle of social consciousness. Tom Dickson, NIN’s founder, believes that if we knew about the plight of our neighbors, we would do what we could to help. NIN does what they can in the form of small one-time crisis grants and in the form of need-based scholarships that help underprivileged students prepare for college. To learn more about NIN, or to apply for their help, stop by their website.
We’re always looking for new local partners who can help us make a larger impact in the greater Pittsburgh area. Whether you’re a large non-profit looking for educational consulting or a small after-school charter program interested in our expertise, we’d love to hear from you.
