NSLC Membership Development
 
 
 
Pittsburgh’s Northside is composed of 14 distinct neighborhoods, each with its own history, issues, and volunteer organizations. In 1980, these 14 neighborhoods came together to establish the Northside Leadership Conference (NSLC). Since then, NSLC has provided a range of services pertaining to real estate and business development, public land enhancement, public safety, health and wellness, and communications and advocacy. As a member of the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group, NSLC collaborates with community-based non-profits to achieve economic justice and racial equity through revitalization efforts. PCRG empowers community development organizations in the region, providing resources like the VISTA program, which enhances organizational capacity while cultivating leadership. The program has been successful in advancing the careers of VISTA members, who are given opportunities for professional development through classes, conferences, etc. About 70% of VISTAs have gone on to positions at community non-profits, while the other 30% have pursued higher education, often supported by the end-of-service education award.
