The Pittsburgh Harlequins provide Mentoring programs in the inner city, using the non-contact sport of Rugby as a tool to engage at-risk youth.

The Pittsburgh Harlequins Youth Mentoring programs utilize the sport of Rugby as a mentoring tool to instill our core values of Accountability, Responsibility, Teamwork, and School Matters. Our mentors and coaches work with at-risk youth age 8-14 in the neighborhoods of Braddock, Homewood, Hazelwood and Garfield. Over 200 youth participate annually from March to June, learning positive interaction with peers from other neighborhoods, as well as adults. 2016 was our 20th program year, and included success stories throughout the city.

Testimonials

"The Harlequins Rugby programs saved my life- without opportunities like this mentoring program I would likely have made decisions that could have taken me down a much different path. These programs matter."

- Rontez Miles, Safety, The New York Jets (and former member of TEAM Braddock)
