For many kids, summer is about fun. For others, it’s a season of uncertainty.

In Clairton, 10% of students experience homelessness. When school lets out, they lose their daily safe haven. The Will Allen Foundation is stepping up to provide 60+ students with free meals, STEM learning, field trips, and a safe place to just be kids this summer. ✨

We need your help to fully fund our Best Summer Yet Campaign by July 1. Every dollar creates a safe space for a child who needs it most.

Here is what a donation to our Best Summer Yet campaign will support:
-Students working side by side on robotics and STEM challenges.
-Students participating in a field trip that expands what they believe is possible.
-Students staying focused and engaged because their basic needs are met and they can fully participate.

We are building the schedule for this summer week by week, and there is still work to do to fully resource it.

If providing kids a safe, fun, engaging summer experience with caring adults is something you care about, now is the time to give.

Last month, the Will Allen Foundation hosted a 2026 NFL draft event at the offices of The Pittsburgh Foundation in their beautiful new space.

Many of our friends, supporters, elected officials and former/current NFL athletes joined us to celebrate the draft and the work of WAF. Check out the short video to see the great time that was had by all.

Thank you to all who attended and especially our generous sponsors. We can’t wait to host another celebration!

Recently, one of our Healthcare Explorer Club students, Hannah, who is pictured above, right, got news that changed her future. She learned she had received a full scholarship to pursue an allied health career through Allegheny Health Network, in partnership with the Will Allen Foundation.

Moments like that do not happen out of nowhere. They begin when a student is given the chance to explore, ask questions, build confidence, and picture a future that feels real. That is what our programs are here to do. To help students see that their next step is possible, and to make sure they have caring adults and real opportunities around them while they take it.

For Hannah, that support became something life changing. A scholarship. A pathway into healthcare. A future she can step into with confidence. And that kind of story matters because it reminds us what is possible when students are seen, supported, and given a real shot.

Stories like Hannah's are only possible because past donors chose to invest in students. Their support helped create the programs, partnerships, and hands-on experiences that opened this door. But there are still so many young people who need that same chance this summer. Before July 1, we need to fund the basics that keep students connected and moving forward, including robotics kits, meals, transportation, and pathway programming. If you can, please visit our campaign page and make a gift today.

Help local youth have their best summer yet!

Summer can either open doors for students or quietly close them.

When school is out, structure disappears. For many students, so do the daily supports that keep them learning, building, and moving forward.

From your support last year, we offered a safe, fun, supervised environment where students from Clairton and The Neighborhood Academy can learn, play and grow over the summer to more than 80 students. With your help, we can welcome them back this summer!

And they are already signing up by the dozens.

That is why we are launching our Best Summer Yet campaign.

This summer, students from Clairton and The Neighborhood Academy will take our CMU Robotics program, explore real career pathways, and connect with mentors who help them take the next step.

These experiences happen because YOU make it possible.

Your gift right now helps cover STEM materials, meals, transportation, and access to the opportunities that keep students engaged all summer long. We have 34 students signed up already, and we can offer 60 spots…if we have your help.

This After School Professionals Appreciation Week we are appreciating Lucy Evans!

Lucy (or better known as Miss Lucy to our students!) oversees our after school program at Clairton, planning fun and enriching lessons in STEM, art, teamwork, public speaking and health and wellness. Lucy secured her first mini-grant and created a fantastic Lights on After School project this school year, among many other accomplishments.

CEO Jessi Marsh says "Lucy is an amazing professional, with both strategic and creative strengths. She is very industrious, solving problems and taking thoughtfully developed, objective-oriented ideas and running with them. She cares so much about our students and always goes the extra mile, executing beyond our expectations. The students love her and so do we!"

Thanks for all you do, Miss Lucy!
