Pittsburgh and Allegheny County youth age 13-19 are eligible. If a youth has graduated or dropped out, they are ineligible.
There are no income restrictions, however, sometimes we fund student activity with government funds. In those cases, students who are served with those funds have to meet the guidelines as set forth by the funding source.
