League-Women Voters-Greater

The League of Women Voters of Greater Pittsburgh is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to fostering active and informed citizens in the Pittsburgh area. They provide reliable resources and educational opportunities to advance the understanding of representative government, elections, and voting. Through their High School Outreach program, they have reached over 4,000 high school students, resulting in over 2,500 new voter registrations. They also collaborate with organizations like Junior Achievement and the Committee of 70 to promote civic education in schools and communities.

The League of Women Voters of Greater Pittsburgh supports Pittsburgh Public Schools' Student Voice program, empowering students to become advocates for voter empowerment. They distribute Happy 18th Birthday posters with trackable QR codes to high schools in five counties, encouraging students to register to vote as soon as they become eligible. Additionally, they hold monthly meetings with newly eligible students to promote civic duty and engage with their peers. The League's efforts have been recognized, with Brentwood High School winning the 2020 GOLD Governor's Civic Engagement Award.
