PULSE cultivates a community of young servant leaders to transform Pittsburgh by inviting talented university graduates to partner with Pittsburgh nonprofits for a year of service and leadership.
Participants serve in a variety of different nonprofits, ranging from the arts to community development to hunger/homelessness to environmental, etc. Fellows interview with potential Nonprofit Partners through a Match Day event. We’ve worked with over 125 nonprofits in Pittsburgh. Check out our list of current partners and past partners.
Participants live in one of our houses in Pittsburgh. Each PULSE house has between 4-8 bedrooms, one-two baths, living room, dining room, laundry room and kitchen. The houses are fully furnished including the kitchen. Every room has a bed, dresser, a closet or wardrobe, desk and lamp. In 2018-2019, PULSE launched a new cohort in the South Hilltop, to complement the East End and Northside cohorts.
