Mission Statement
NEED's vision is to be a catalyst for change that transforms the outcomes of our underserved youth in the Greater Pittsburgh area by developing college bound, civic-minded leaders. We are directing them on the right path through enrichment programs, mentorship, career development, educational trips, scholarship assistance, and socially impactful activities. We are determined to eradicate the factors that lead to systemic poverty by creating safe learning environments and by giving them every tool to succeed. Together with the support of families, churches, alumni, corporations, and in-kind donations we are investing in our youth to ensure the growth, longevity, sustainability of our future and the strengthening of our Pittsburgh region's economy.
About This Cause
NEED is a nonprofit college access program which is a lifeline to many young people who otherwise would not have had the guidance and resources to gain invaluable life skills, pursue higher education, and embark on a brighter future by obtaining financially successful careers. Many of our recipients are the first in their families to attend and be graduated from college which is a key component to ending the cycle of poverty and becoming powerful contributors to their families and communities. Over the past 63 years, NEED has been a pacesetter to overcome historical disparities that have left minorities and the underserved at a tremendous disadvantage.
