Goal of Program

PULSE cultivates a community of young servant leaders to transform Pittsburgh. We invite talented university graduates to partner with Pittsburgh nonprofits for a year of service and leadership. Fellows SERVE with a nonprofit, LIVE in community with other fellows, and GROW as a leader through ongoing leadership training and development.

Type of Placement

Various. Fellows serve 35 hrs/week with a nonprofit organization. As best as we are able, we try to customize our service sites to match member passion, gifts and professional interests. Over the last 26 years, we've worked with over 175 different nonprofit organizations in Pittsburgh. For a list of some previous nonprofit partners: https://pulsepittsburgh.org/past-partners/
