Mission

To increase community engagement through volunteerism and enhance the impact of regional service partners.

History

In August 1992, six Pittsburgh friends joined together to launch Pittsburgh Cares in an effort to offer local volunteer opportunities to individuals unable to make long-term commitments to local nonprofit organizations. Pittsburgh Cares is affiliated with the Hands On Network, a nonprofit organization that unites more than a half a million volunteers from 64 national and international affiliates to be the change that they wish to see in their communities. The global network of affiliates coordinates over 50,000 volunteer projects each year.

Pittsburgh Cares increases public awareness of social issues, offers a flexible volunteer matching program, and works to build the capacity and impact of regional nonprofit organizations. Each month, there are between 50-70 service projects coordinated through the Pittsburgh Cares office that are open to the general public. There are an additional 15-20 customized projects coordinated monthly for regional businesses, educational institutions, faith-based groups and civic organizations. Volunteers simply register online or over the phone and show up at the project; Pittsburgh Cares coordinates the rest! With a broad menu of activities, convenient scheduling, and flexible commitment levels, Pittsburgh Cares makes it easy for almost anyone to become involved in volunteering in the Greater Pittsburgh region.
