PULSE - Pittsburgh Urban Leadership Service Experience

Dear PULSE Community, It is with a mix of gratitude for your unwavering support and a heavy heart, that we are announcing an important decision regarding PULSE. After careful consideration, consultations with our staff, Board of Directors, funders, and third-party consultants, we have come to the difficult decision that PULSE will be sunsetting at the end of the current program year. Though we are sad to see this chapter close, we are also proud and grateful. We are grateful to you for being part of the PULSE community and helping us achieve the work for which we are proud: 30 years of supporting over 400 Fellows and over 200 nonprofits. Your support has sustained us - and has translated to substantial work throughout the Pittsburgh nonprofit community! Below are some highlights about the PULSE Alumni Community: -375+ participants have partnered with almost 200 Pittsburgh nonprofits, contributing over 600,000 hours of service to the city and its residents  -134+  still live in Pittsburgh -196+ are still working in Public Service -20+ still work for the nonprofit where they were placed as a PULSE Fellow -Several have started their own nonprofits -At least 5 couples are still in relationships that began and blossomed during their time serving in PULSE together (2 couples have gotten married!) Please check out our full statement on our website. Thank you again for being part of the PULSE community and helping us celebrate our Fellows past and present. With Gratitude, The PULSE Team

We are so excited to announce our list of nonprofit partners for the 2024-2025 service year! PULSE fellows will have the opportunity to work with each of these organizations in roles ranging from programming, marketing, communications, outreach, organizing, and so much more. We can't wait to work with these amazing new and returning partners in the coming year and all of the incredible work the PULSE fellows will do with them. #NonprofitPartnership #PittsburghNonprofits #PULSEPittsburgh #ServiceYear
