My Nonprofit Reviews

Steel making and production has a deep rooted history in Southwestern Pennsylvania stretching back over 150 years.
The Rivers Of Steel Heritage Corporation is dedicated to preserving that history so that we can learn about it’s role in shaping the direction our region is taking.
As a volunteer with Rivers Of Steel, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to not only learn more about the history of the steel industry but apply what I’ve learned to the artwork I create and also pass on that knowledge to others by helping with tours and the many public events hosted by the organization.
Of the several sites cared for by the group, none is more enigmatic and awe inspiring than The Carrie Furnace. It continually offers up secrets of steel making’s past that provoke and fuel the imagination.
I am grateful for all the amazing people I have had the opportunity to meet and work with through Rivers Of Steel and hope to continue volunteering for many years to come!

In an age where parents let devices do the parenting, it's nice to see long running endeavors like The Saturday Light Brigade out to capture kids' attention and challenge their minds. This is a fantastic and creative local resource that has truly become a regional treasure.
