Our Mission: To provide programs and facilities that enhance learning, wellness and quality of life within and outside the Steel Valley.
This mission expresses Andrew Carnegie's vision when he built the facility to serve his workers in the steel mills. Today, many of those same workers' families are raising their own families here in western Pennsylvania, where the Carnegie - in its second century of service - continues the vision for residents of Munhall, Homestead, West Homestead, Whitaker and surrounding areas.
