The CLG Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting disadvantaged youth across the Greater Pittsburgh region. We provide entrepreneurial education, mentorship, and scholarship support to help young people see what’s possible, and build the confidence to pursue it.

Empowering Futures Through Opportunity

OUR MISSION

Success has many paths. For some, it’s college. For others, it’s a trade, a technical skill, or a business idea waiting to take shape. Our mission is to show young minds that their future isn’t defined by limitations, but by imagination, opportunity, and community.

WHO WE SERVE:

  • High school students in underserved communities
  • First-generation graduates
  • Students pursuing entrepreneurship, trades, or alternative career paths
  • Educators seeking real-world business exposure for their students
  • Local leaders who want to mentor and inspire the next generation
