Justice Scholars Institute
The Justice Scholars Institute is a social justice-anchored, community engaged program housed in the School of Education. Since 2016, we have partnered with College in High School (CHS) at Pitt to provide credit-bearing, college preparatory experience to students in Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS). In addition to college courses, the program provides a host of educational enhancement opportunities including college preparatory workshops, out-of-school time justice-focused youth development opportunities and justice-focused research training.
