PITTSBURGH LEARNING COLLABORATIVE
The Pittsburgh Learning Collaborative (PLC) exists as a regional hub for providing students and families with what they need to succeed in school through its Every Kid, Every School, Every Day campaign.
- Every Kid needs a reason to go - through in and out of school programs, tutoring opportunities, literacy programs, and overall readiness options.
- Every School needs the resources to give these students a reason to learn in a welcoming and engaging environment.
- Every Day needs to be accessible through transportation, safety, food security, and family engagement.
These core concepts establish the PLC’s ecosystem of dedicated partners committed to the betterment and wellbeing of our region’s families.
We serve as a hub of resources and coordinated assets. Working with and leveraging the relationships of existing community organizations, we identify issues and needs of families, coordinate community-based distribution of existing resources and information, identify and apply local and national best practices, and work collaboratively to develop and implement new solutions where needed.
INVESTING IN WHAT WORKS
With over 100 organizations dedicated to the common goal of holistic support for students and their families, the PLC is focused and committed to end chronic absenteeism through collaboration with organizations across an entire ecosystem:
After School Programs | In School Programs | Childcare | Employment | Tutoring | Government | Family Engagement | Summer Programs | Housing & Healthcare | Transportation | Safe Streets | Literacy | School Systems | Policy & Advocacy
