Recently, Literacy Pittsburgh instructor Tina Burns attended the One Year Anniversary Celebration for PIT2Work at the National Aviary. PIT2Work has an important goal: Together we are changing lives and building a better Pittsburgh, by Pittsburgh, for Pittsburgh.
The event featured a ceremony honoring the last five cohorts as well as the many organizations that support the initiative. Key guests and speakers included an NFL representative and Sara Innamaroto, Allegheny County Executive. Also on hand were partner organizations, union leaders, and many companies in the trades to support these students.
This program has the power to change lives and Literacy Pittsburgh is proud to be a part of the initiative.
