PITTSBURGH CARES: Volunteering Made Easy!  
Pittsburgh Cares
Description:

Pittsburgh Cares inspires volunteerism by organizing flexible and rewarding service projects that impact critical needs in Greater Pittsburgh.

In August 1992, six Pittsburgh friends joined together to found Pittsburgh Cares. They wanted to offer local volunteer opportunities, especially for those who found it difficult to volunteer often or on a regular schedule. Pittsburgh Cares was one of the first affiliates in what is now Hands on Network (formerly CityCares), with affiliates across the USA and overseas. Using the flexible, episodic volunteering model, Pittsburgh Cares began offering its volunteers a monthly calendar of community service opportunities to choose from.

Since then, Pittsburgh Cares has grown tremendously and now has a base of 3,000 volunteers in Pittsburgh, a downtown office with a professional staff, a board of directors, and an advisory board. We have formal relationships with some 100 service agencies for whom our volunteers provide thousands of hours of work each year to help them deliver their services.
