Pittsburgh Public Schools Board of Directors

Summer “Learn and Earn” applications open.

Written by Bethani Cameron

Board Director Devon Taliaferro said applications for Summer Learn and Earn are now open. Director Dwayne Barker added that students who previously enrolled in a Learn and Earn program will only need to verify their address and parent income in order to sign up.

Director Eva Diodati, who has worked as a Teen Library Services associate at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh for several years, said students looking for assistance filling out Learn and Earn applications can turn to their local library for assistance. They said librarians have been trained to assist and are able to help students and families complete applications for the program.

Taliaferro said interested families should apply soon, as positions fill up quickly.
