PULSE, the Pittsburgh Urban Leadership Service Experience, is MennoCorps's inaugural program. Founded in 1994 by the Rev. Dr. John Stahl-Wert, PULSE has brought more than 90 college graduates to the Steel City, pairing them with responsible positions at community-building organizations ranging from hospitals to local radio stations and food banks. About a third of PULSE alumni are still living in Pittsburgh, making important contributions to their adopted city.

Our mission

PULSE cultivates a community of young urban citizens, leaders, and dreamers in Pittsburgh. We invite talented university graduates to celebrate the city through learning, service, and work. A faith-based cooperative living experience, we teach and model the core values of sustainability, justice, stewardship and peacemaking rooted in the Anabaptist/Mennonite tradition.
