Impacting Students in the Pittsburgh Area
Our Core Initiatives
The PGH HBCU Collaborative is composed of HBCU alumni and friends who are living and working in the Pittsburgh region that are working collaboratively to promote the importance of academic success and college completion through community engagement activities that perpetuate the culture of HBCU's.
Our goal is to introduce, expose, and connect Pittsburgh area middle-high school students, college transfer students and families to our nation’s HBCU's through college fairs, community events, school presentations, educational workshops, and college tours. We strive to contribute to the professional development of both students and alumni through summer internships and regional employment opportunities.
WHO WE ARE
Pittsburgh's Access To HBCU's (PATH) program provides educational support to middle and high school students to improve their outcomes through the investment in evidence-based, outcome-oriented programs/activities and community engagement activites that result in academic success, personal and career development and good citizenship.
