My Nonprofit Reviews

Family friendly Kidsburgh, www.kidsburgh.org, has celebrated the Pittsburgh Promise for the reason that they make a huge difference in the Pittsburgh region. The Promise undertakes a major challenge and has changed the lives of countless youth in our city schools through their future-facing efforts. It's no secret that urban education faces many challenges, but the Promise took them on and has helped to create - and deliver on - better futures for so many not limited to 2-year, 4-year and trade schools. Students here don't just dream about post-secondary opportunity, they have a pipeline.

My grandson loves the diversity of services he has enjoyed at Dragon's Den, not the least of which is the high ropes course. He fancies himself a dare-devil and Dragon's Den makes the course challenging enough that his pride and confidence flourish. Likewise, the group of kids that he's met with and with whom he's shared food and conversation didn't come across to him as mental health supports, but they WERE. Very clever, Dragon's Den. We are all big fans!

I am a regular listener and more so a regular admirer of all that SLB provides to the community. They provide such an important venue to voices that we might not otherwise hear.

I am particularly impressed with the number of children and youth who are featured by SLB Radio as skillful and talented individuals in our community. It reminds me that "making art" has no age limitations!
