ANNUAL REPORT 2014

2014 was a year of new collaborations and renewed

partnerships at Sarah Heinz House. Numerous corporations, universities, foundations, community organizations and individuals provided professional expertise, volunteered their time and offered support. These integral connections helped us to increase opportunities and reach more kids in our afterschool and summer

programs. In 2014, we served more than 3,000 area youth, ages PreK-18, through our programs and community initiatives, averaging 322 kids each day from 90 different schools.

It was also a year of innovation, creativity and success in our STEAM-based initiatives (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). Our Robotics Program continued to bring state-of-the-art technology to kids through our partnerships with the Robotics Institute and local corporations. Our Robotics Team SHARP placed first in the Pittsburgh Regional Competition earning a spot in a competition in St. Louis where they competed with other teams from around the globe. We also hosted robotics tournaments for area schools and added classes for preschoolers to introduce young kids to the basics of robot commands through fun play.

In 2014, our Design Factory was honored by the Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA) for innovation in afterschool programming. The hands-on curriculum, developed with Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, introduced students to sustainable design, construction principles and technology-related careers. As one of their projects, students helped finalize the design of a bathroom and shower facility at Heinz House camp. Our Media Lab offered a creative outlet for kids to express themselves and learn online publishing, video production and photography techniques and our Education Nation program integrated super hero themes to keep kids engaged in academic goals. Nearly 100% of our members graduated to the next level on time and 90% of our high school graduates enrolled in post-secondary education.

We expanded our health and fitness programs to offer a wide range of physical and educational activities. Our Healthy Choices for Life program promoted healthy eating habits and active lifestyles through

basic nutrition lessons. In 2014, we provided more than 37,000 free meals and snacks to our members and reached additional kids by holding health fairs and family focused events. Last year, we hosted the American Heart Associate’s “Healthy Family Training Camp” which was attended by more than 350 kids and parents from low-income neighborhoods.
