Public Allies - "Everyone Leads" from Jason Demek on Vimeo.

At Public Allies Pittsburgh, we believe changing times call for a new kind of leadership. Since 2006, we’ve worked with young leaders to impact Pittsburgh's neighborhoods. Allies are young, diverse, and passionate social change makers who support community projects in partnership with hundreds of local nonprofit organizations.

Our Allies change their lives and our community through a rigorous AmeriCorps program that combines full-time, paid apprenticeships in nonprofits with intensive skills training, active community-building projects, personalized coaching, and critical reflection. We provide all of this through a nationally recognized approach that’s rooted in a practice of values.

 

Public Allies Pittsburgh launched its site in partnership with the Coro Center for Civic Leadership (CLICK HERE FOR CORO's WEBSITE) in April of 2006.  In its inaugural year, the class included 25 AmeriCorps members serving as apprentices at 16 partner organizations. Allies also completed leadership development training and worked in small teams to implement sustainable service projects for local organizations.
