Partners

What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the community want for all of its children.

As a local company, we at Pittsburgh Prep believe that we have a responsibility to use our experience for the betterment of the community. To this end, we partner with local businesses and not-for-profits to offer Pittsburghers new and innovative educational programs. For more on how we give back to the community, check out some of our current partners below.

Our target population includes children ages 6-18 from single parent families, low-income households, and underperforming schools.

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.
