Please join us on Thursday, September 18 from 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM at Commonwealth Charter Academy (162 East Bridge St, Homestead, PA 15120) for the next Jefferson Community Collaborative meeting.
We’ve heard clearly from nonprofit partners about the growing needs of residents, the declining availability of resources and the increasing importance of civic engagement. In response, this meeting will explore effective, nonpartisan approaches to voter engagement, highlighting how organizations empower and elevate community voice. We’ll also introduce the Collaborative Message Board, a new platform inspired by partner discussions for sharing events, requesting support and exchanging resources.
The meeting will include:
- A panel discussion with nonprofit partners on strategies for nonpartisan voter engagement.
- An interactive session, Listening In, Speaking Out, where partners discuss the Message Board at their tables and report back to the group.
- Foundation updates, including grantmaking, data, communications, and welcoming new Vision Council members.
- Partner-led community shares, resource announcements, and opportunities to connect.
Panelists scheduled to attend:
- Ruth Quint, Co-President & Webmaster, League of Women Voters of Greater Pittsburgh
- Khara Timsina, Executive Director, Bhutanese Community Association of Pittsburgh
- Randi Vega, Community Engagement Manager, Age-Friendly Greater Pittsburgh
- Dr. Jasiri X, Founder/CEO, 1Hood Media
Parking is accessible in the lot outside of Commonwealth Charter Academy across from Barnes & Noble in the Waterfront. Commonwealth Charter Academy is located at the site of the old Macy’s building.
