My Nonprofit Reviews

Every year I am more and more impressed by the quality of the staff and services at Sarah Heinz House. In addition to its core after school Boys and Girls Club programs, the Club provides services to the elderly through Silver Sneakers, to the very young through summer day camp and swimming lessons, and to a variety of other populations from throughout the city. Heinz House and its staff are truly remarkable assets for the city of Pittsburgh.

When I was asked to serve on the Board of Sarah Heinz House, an organization I did not know, I was not confident that I would be able to commit the appropriate amount of time given other obligations. From my first visit to "The Club", however, I realized that I simply could not say "no" to the request. The "vibe" of SHH is overwhelming - from the energy of the kids to the commitment of the enormous number of volunteers to the integrity and passion of the staff. Once you've been there, you simply want to contribute whatever you can to help such a special place. Of particular note is the staff's focus on continuous improvement and desire to make a great institution even better. Their professionalism surpasses that of most institutions with which I have had experience, from small companies to large corporations.
