The organization is pleased to announce the Spring 2024 Pittsburgh Class of ChangeMakers – community leaders who have demonstrated a commitment to service & the potential to truly move our community forward.

 

The Spring 2024 Pittsburgh ChangeMakers class kicked off with an orientation & networking event on Friday January 26, 2024, at Ascender Co-Working Space in East Liberty area of Pittsburgh, followed by a reception for each of the honorees & their guests.
