How Learn & Earn Came Together in a Year Unlike Any Other
While 2020 presented challenges unlike any encountered in years past, it provided the opportunity to reimagine Learn & Earn and create a positive impact in the lives of young people. The leadership of Allegheny County and the City of Pittsburgh, the flexibility and support of funders, creativity of the application support center and provider staff and the dedication of worksite supervisors at nearly 200 nonprofits and businesses in the region, allowed youth to be able to obtain employment at a time when unemployment climbed to a historic high. Last year, Learn & Earn helped narrow the technology gap, involve new partners, and build capacity for digital engagement that will strengthen programs beyond the summer.
This year, we plan to implement an equally safe and productive summer of learning and skill building for students! If you have any questions about last year's model and the future of the program, please do not hesitate to reach out! Visit our 'contact us' page to send us a message or ask a question.
