Angel’s Place was established in 1984 to help single parents from low-income families in Pittsburgh to continue with their education in order to ensure a brighter future for their children. The organization aims to address the problem of poverty among single-parent families, most of which have parents that have not finished school and can’t get a good job.

From a single location, Angel’s Place has expanded over the years and has built two more centers across the city. This enables more single mothers and fathers to get the help they need in order to finish school and get a job that can help support their families.

Located in North Side, Brookline, and Swissvale, single mothers and fathers can drop their children off at the centers for free child care while they pursue their education or find employment that can satisfy their needs as a family unit. These centers also provide support programs for the family and courses on parenting, life skills, nutrition, and child safety practices.
