Program Overview

Students In Action

In Pittsburgh, Multiplying Good works in a range of middle and high schools to help youth identify what they are passionate about, and build the skills needed to do something about. In 2022, Pittsburgh based SIA teams engaged more than 1500 of their peers in over 12k hours of meaningful youth-led service.

Youth Leaders Focus on Mentorship & Mental Health

The 2022 Pittsburgh Regional Winner of Public Service Pitch Day, Brownsville Area High School, who will represent Southwestern PA at our National Celebration of Service, focused on creating a sustainable peer mentoring program that includes connecting high school students to 6th graders for weekly meetings to learn about mental health and coping strategies, while forming close connections.

Meet Sabrina Liu

Sabrina Liu founded the Pittsburgh chapter of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA) in early 2019 after years of advocacy. Sabrina is an immigrant who battled through an abusive work environment prior to working for USW. She leads efforts in the labor movement to fight the hate against Asian Americans that has been rampant and has volunteered to ensure marginalized communities get access to the COVID-19 vaccine and helped secure over $65,000 in cash assistance and reusable masks. In 2020, she helped increase census responses and educated workers in precarious situations about their rights. Her Get out the Vote efforts focused on hard-to-reach communities with in-language materials, engaging more than 600 people in the 2020 election cycle and increasing early voting.

Meet Marc Scott

When Marc Scott’s only daughter, Olivia, died from liver cancer at age 17, he channeled his grief into good.

Meet Jason Holman

An optician at Visionworks, a subsidiary of Highmark Inc., Jason Holman is guided by a passion for serving others.
