Testimonial
"I joined the Neighborhood Learning Alliance in 2021 and It has been a true blessing being involved in the NLA and HSU program. I have been able to develop new skills, earn free college credits, and be exposed to different professional and career opportunities in the Pittsburgh area. I really recommend this program to young high school students."
-David, HSU graduate '23
"I've been in the NLA program for two years, and it’s had a significant impact on my life in terms of academics, earning money and preparing me for college. This program allows me to experience college life while also introducing me to new people. The NLA HSU program allows you to gain work experience and explore more different careers. The staff are friendly and caring." -Marielle, HSU graduate '23
"I joined the Neighborhood Learning Alliance HSU program my 9th grade year of high school and I will graduate nursing school in December 2024. I am very grateful for the program because I was able to earn 9 college credits before my freshman year of college which accelerated the process of nursing school." - Kehinde, HSU graduate '20
