April Playful Pittsburgh Partner Highlights
Playful Pittsburgh has many amazing partners across the city and each month we would like to take a moment to spotlight our tier 2 and 3 partners and all the work they are doing to contribute to play equity.
Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse:
The Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse (PCCR) is a non-profit that inspires creativity, conservation, and community engagement through reuse. Located in Wilkinsburg, Homewood, and Point Breeze, they operate a non-traditional art supply shop where the community can donate used art and craft supplies, as well as shop for craft supplies. In addition, PCCR facilitates hands-on creative programming that educates the public about the benefits of reuse for the environment, community, and self.
PCCR values play because it is the basis for problem-solving, creativity, relationship building, and many other skills we use constantly! And having fun is good for our brains. At PCCR, they are playing constantly - Whether it's being creative with program participants, having fun and engaging staff meetings, or just curating our space to inspire creativity through fun signs and displays - it's everywhere!
