Community Forge | Youth | Pittsburgh Learning Commons (PLC) is an educational nonprofit whose mission is to: 1) provide educational opportunities that break down disciplinary boundaries and relate to real-world contexts, 2) create an environment where learners can claim ownership over their education and build lifelong learning skills, and 3) support learners in developing expertise in applied STEAM fields. We aim to accomplish our mission by having the voices and ideas of our youth mold our space and programming, bringing in advanced practitioners as instructors in STEAM fields, and building community partnerships. We prioritize free programs and scholarships to the residents in our Wilkinsburg neighborhood.
