YouthPlaces

YouthPlaces is thrilled to be back for our 3rd year as an official charity with the Pittsburgh Marathon! We can't wait to see all of the amazing individuals who choose to sign up as a charity runner to support YouthPlaces!

Youthplaces offers specialized programming and neighborhood connections that help youth in our community become happy, healthy, and dynamic adults. Our youth are at the center of everything that we do, and we challenge them to unlock their fullest potential by providing the tools they need along the way. By investing in their strengths and abilities, we are able to refine their focus and help them along their path to success. 

By running for Youthplaces, your miles will be dedicated to youth all around the Pittsburgh area. Some of the ways that funds raised would be used at Youthplaces:

$20 - provides one week of dinners for a YP youth! 

$25 - provides one youth with a YP Swag Bag (hygiene supplies, school supplies, basic necessities)

$50 - feeds 2 families for our "YP at your Door" hot meal program.  

$75 - sponsors one of our youth for a 6 week program.

$100 - sponsors a youth to play on our YP sports team.

$150 - provides 1 month of materials.

$250 - contributes to our youth going on our Fun Friday Field Trips to places they have never been.

$500 - provides a recent YP Graduate with a semester of textbooks.

$1,000 - sponsors a student on our annual college tour. College tour visits 3-4 schools over a 3 day trip.
