Community Leader Mixer
2015-07-23 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Halifax) | Arnold’s Tea Room, 502 E Ohio St, Pittsburgh, 15212, United States
Are you a community Leader or aspiring to be one? Join us for food, conversation, and a panel discussion on opportunities for leadership and employment in the Northside. If you haven’t RSVPed yet, you can do so by clicking here.
Context
GTECH is currently running the ReClaim Northside program. Through this program, we’ve trained 14 Northside residents on tactics for reclaiming vacant lots in their neighborhoods. Much of what this program focuses on is giving residents the information and skills they need to become a community leader. What we’ve realized is that many of these skills (connecting, public speaking, organizing, etc.) are also relevant to employment. So, we’d like to dig a little deeper and learn what barriers and opportunities exist for community leadership and employment in the Northside.
The Panelists
Lisa Freeman

Lisa Freeman began the Pittsburgh Struggling Student Association in 2013 to help improve the quality of education at Manchester Elementary School that her children were attending. She has been a previous GTECH ambassador for the North Side, as well as, continuing to intersect her passion for gardening and education through the Mud, Math, & More! summer math camp for struggling learners at Pittsburgh Manchester K-‐8, one of several Northside schools that has been ranked among the bottom 15% of schools statewide by the PDE. Ms. Freeman’s long term success and interest for connecting neighbors to resources has made her a long-standing community leader in the Northside.
Dillon Moore
Dillon Moore joined the staff at Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board (3RWIB) in May 2014. Much of his work involves building an understanding of the regional labor market, workforce development system, and the public policy issues that surround these topics. Dillon also helps manage data analysis and program evaluation efforts of 3RWIB. In the past year, 3RWIB completed a comprehensive study of issues and opportunities for employment on the Northside. Dillon has held previous positions in research at the University of Pittsburgh’s Johnson Institute for Responsible Leadership and Center for Metropolitan Studies. He also has experience in research abroad in East and Southern Africa. Dillon has a bachelor’s degree in Geography from West Virginia University and a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.
Ebony Harris
Ebony Harris is a long-time resident of the Northside and began LEVELS Coaching for Empowerment and Purpose in 2014. She received a Neighbor-to-Neighbor grant for a quality of employment project that challenges participants to delve deeper into the overall vision of their lives. Her workshops focus on entrepreneurial journeys and self-‐investment to reach and sustain self-sufficiency, accomplishing goals such as homeownership, entrepreneurship, and making career advancements. Ms. Harris was inspired to reach others through empowerment and purpose with positive life skills, including her campaign #PMP2015 – Create-Engage-Transform!, as well as, infusing her love of beauty by organizing collaborative fashion shows in the area.

In 2013, GTECH set out to grow hops on an unused, vacant portion of Garfield Community Farm to see whether it could be a creative (and delicious) way to reuse some of the 4,500 acres of vacant land in the city. With the help of Noah of the Hop Project and the fine farmers of Garfield Farm, we planted to grow a few varieties of hops for East End Brewery and — guess what — it worked!
Inspired by the Hops on Lots project, GTECH throws the annual Wethoptober Fundraiser to celebrate and support our projects that creatively reuse vacant lots. This year we’re partnering with Wigle Whiskey and East End Brewery to offer an evening of wet-hopped brews and hopped whiskey, tasty food and great conversation at Wigle Whiskey Barrel House located in the Northside neighborhood of Spring Garden.
For $30 you will receive:
-A 12oz GTECH Beer Glass – yours to take home
-One hopped whiskey cocktail
-Three 6oz pours from three unique hopped beers from East End Brewery
-Two free raffle tickets
-Tasting demos with samples of hopped whiskey
Live Music and Food Trucks onsite with autumn themed menus from Berlin Street Foods and Brownstone Wood Fired Brick Oven. Note: Tickets sold out last year, don’t hesitate to purchase yours today.
