Homewood is a neighborhood of deep roots, strong family ties, and a common bond based on decades of shared efforts to renew.
Pitt’s commitment to Homewood builds on a history of partnership between the University and a network of community collaborators, with the CEC in Homewood acting as a front door to the University of Pittsburgh. Together, we’re building a sustainable foundation for the community’s future.
The CEC in Homewood is part of the University's aligned Neighborhood Commitments. Forming strong partnerships with Homewood and surrounding communities, the University is intentional in establishing both long-lasting and long-term commitments of investment, infrastructure, programming, resources, research, and staffing in Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods.
PittEnrich, one of the first programs developed in the Gismondi Neighborhood Education Program, uses a unique blend of in-school tutoring and Saturday learning-through-play sessions to help Homewood students in grades 1 through 5 improve their reading and math skills.
On Saturdays, first- through fourth-graders are welcomed to the CEC in Homewood for learning in a fast-paced, fun way.
The School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences Wellness Pavilion is a student-led community space that offers person-centered inter-professional services and programs that aim to improve, maintain, and promote the health and wellness of Homewood residents and surrounding communities, across the lifespan.
The CEC in Homewood is a welcoming space open to the community and the University of Pittsburgh.
