Big thanks to our good friends at United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania for today's awesome PLC Lunch & Learn presentation!! Our member organizations had an opportunity to learn more about all the ways PA 211 Southwest can be utilized in their work supporting students and families across the region!

There was something for everyone in the room: ✅ Data deep dives to nerd out over, ✅ Well-known AND lesser-known resources for families in need, ✅ A sense of collective action to help more kids Show Up to school more often. Oh--and an Olive Garden buffet 😄

Don't sleep on these Lunch & Learns! There is so much good info out there, and we're happy to share it with our Pittsburgh Learning Collaborative members.
