The team at the Best of the Batch are extremely supportive and treat everyone like family. My little cousins were apart of their free summer program this year. They came home every day talking about how much fun they had. I also have volunteered at their Christmas wrapping party on numerous occasions. The Batch team always goes above and beyond and truly make a difference in our community.
The Best Of The Batch Foundation provides a safe and fun environment that gives the kids, in the community, wise direction and a true sense of belonging. The councilors and volunteers happily give of their time to make a difference in the lives of the children who participates in the various programs available throughout the year.
The Best of the Batch is such an amazing foundation, and I am so fortunate that I got to be a part of it! The work they do for these kids is truly incredible and inspiring.
Great foundation for the kids. 3 years in a row they have begged to b involved. I’ve noticed a positive change in my boys since they have been there. They get along better and seem to b maturing and being responsible faster than I thought possible. It’s great and there are great role models and even better counselors. Best of the Batch is Best for the kids.
It takes a village!!!!
The best of the batch foundation is a great non-profit. They have a wonderful establishment and do wonders for the kids in the community. I recommend everyone not only to send their kids but help however they can.
I had the privilege to tour the Batch foundation. I just love how much the foundation has to offer young people of the community. The counselors are all amazing as well.
The Best of the Batch is a great addition to the community for kids. The staff is amazing and it's always so clean. These programs are what brings the community together and was well needed. Kids love it and get so much attention, love, and entertainment there and most of all, they give back.
Great environment to be in & a great space for kids to be kids. Seeing & hearing excitement from any child that is involved with the foundation goes to show the great time & effort of the foundation & staff. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for the Batch to truly be the Best
This is a beautiful organization. When I was a child, I went through the program and now that I'm an adult, I have younger siblings going through it as well. It helped me build lifelong friendships and also kept me out of trouble. I don't know where I'd be without you guys. Thank you
Every December me and my family come help the foundation clean up from their Batch A Toys program. The foundation and staff are amazing & the work they do is unmatched.
Best of the Batch Foundation deserves immense appreciation for their outstanding work in the community. They are committed to empowering youth and to uplifting families. The positive impact they make is felt by so many. I’m glad to be able to be help out and be a part of this foundation.
Best of the Batch is a game changer in the city of Pittsburgh! By encouraging and empowering the youth, they’re helping to shape the future to be BRIGHT. Their programs are changing lives, from their school offerings and scholarships, to Batch A Toys and Camp Batch and sports opportunities. I’ve had the blessing of working with multiple students impacted positively by Best of the Batch over the years. They prepare the kids to carry the tools of success they learn through their programs into young adulthood and beyond! Go, Best of the Batch!
The Best of the Batch Foundation is a wonderful organization for the community. They provide great resources for the kids in the community and help them become better students and just people in general. My time volunteering and working for the foundation was wonderful and I enjoyed having an impact and giving back to the community that gave a lot to me as a kid.
The Best of The Batch Foundation is an absolute amazing organization. They offer so much for the children of the community, having thought of every single need the children have and bundled it into one awesome facility. Tasha, Charlie and team are some the most amazing humans I know. They generously give of themselves and have left no stone unturned in providing everything children need while in a safe place for children to learn and grow with dignity and respect.
There is not a more authentic, impactful organization in the region. The Best of the Batch Foundation leads with compassion and dedication to make sure that children have valuable learning opportunities, community connections and a safe space to call their own where they are nurtured to grow and succeed!
The batch been helping me mentally and physically for years!!! They make sure we’re fed and help us with multiple opportunities to my future. I appreciate them so much
This organization is awesome, from passing out ice cream, talent and fashion shows to distributing Christmas baskets and gift. The staff and volunteers are all role models for the children of this community. They work tirelessly everyday to provide a safe, educational and fun environment for the youth. We’ve loved seeing the smiles on the faces during the distribution of the back packs. The staff is spectacular and WE appreciate them for ALL THEY DO!
What can I say! The Best of the Batch is truly the best. I started a few years ago volunteering for the Batch A Toys and have now become the Director of First Impressions. I appreciate the opportunity to work for this amazing foundation and it's very talented and awesome crew whose dedication to the kids is outstanding.
The Best of the Batch Foundation is an amazing community resource offering a safe space for children throughout the year. By partnering with local businesses, they are able to help meet the needs of families in surrounding neighborhoods. My family and I have helped volunteer for the past few years and we are amazed at how generous and loving they are. We hope to continue making memories and having fun paying it forward!
They have an amazing program for middle school girls known as Girl Talk that I volunteered for as a High School Mentor. Girls absolutely loved it and were given a safe space to be themselves and learn the ins and outs of growing up and navigating high school.
Amazing organization! Continuously doing wonderful things for our youth in the community! Continue to keep up the great work!
Best of the Batch is the BEST foundation to work for and volunteer! They promote education and they really care about the kids and the community overall! I have had a wonderful experience volunteering for the foundation and I will definitely continue in the future!

I have volunteered with Best of the Batch for the last few months, and I have been blown away by the work they do. With an extremely small staff, they serve so many children with their programs. But what impresses me the most is that just as they ask for the best from their kids, they give their best to the kids. They are willing to go as far as it takes to support any child who asks for it. They provide snacks without question because they know some of the kids who come after school don't have food at home. They've created internships to support students in attending college. They've taken students in when they were in danger from street violence. They are fully tuned in to the actual challenges their kids face, and they are committed to meeting those challenges. The kids know and respect this dedication, and it shows in all their programs and the way they interact with students on a day-to-day basis.

Amazing organization--helping so many kids in so many ways in and around the Pittsburgh area! Well organized events include, giving Batchpacks to kids at a local elementary school, Project Chuck is the basketball program for kids in the summer- that ends with an awesome Community Day celebration for the finals. Their big event in the fall is In The Pocket with Charlie Batch--an adult only FUNdraiser....And Batch of Toys is a toy drive for needy kids and families...so great to see so many come support the efforts of all the events of the Batch Foundation!
