Our Mission
GLENDA fosters appreciation of gays, lesbians and all people by working together with diverse communities to make western Pennsylvania a better place to live.
GLENDA is a charitable 501(C)(3) all-volunteer organization in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania that joins forces with other corporate, civic, church, fraternal, and school groups to perform over 2000 volunteer hours per year to improve our region.
Working together, we help to beautify our region, assist our less fortunate neighbors, help fight disease, and help fight prejudice. GLENDA provides an opportunity for diverse people to work together, dispel negative stereotypes, appreciate our differences, and recognize the positive impact we can have when we pull together on behalf of our entire community.
On a typical volunteer project, 6-12 of our over 500 volunteers sign on to a weekend or evening project where we can expect to be working with other volunteers for a worthy cause.
