$12,000 to support the Lighthouse Project, a year-round performing and media arts program at the Homewood-Brushton YMCA, serving high school teens in the distressed communities throughout the east end of Pittsburgh.

YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh‘s Lighthouse exists to develop young people that are creative, connected and ready for college and career. The Lighthouse Project is a safe and exciting place for young people to explore their interests in music, film, photography, art and fashion. In each of the arts programs, experienced teaching artists empower young people to find their voice while building technical and transferable skills that position them for success after high school.
