All for All

Connecting people, organizations, and communities to ensure that the Pittsburgh region is welcoming and inclusive for all.

Immigrant inclusion doesn’t happen in isolation. It requires a cross-sector coalition committed to welcoming and supporting immigrants as they settle into a community. All for All was a project of Change Agency that connects people, organizations, and communities to ensure that the Pittsburgh region is welcoming and inclusive for all. Through community collaboration and cross-sector partnerships, All for All advanced economic opportunities, broke down barriers, and promoted institutional best practices to further immigrant inclusion.

In response to the momentum built by the network of its partners for a more inclusive Pittsburgh region, and to ensure sustainability for the future, in 2020 All for All began to transition from team leadership to a coalition-led model. The coalition is now convened and supported by The Global Switchboard.

The All for All Coalition is guided by the Immigrant Community Blueprint, a comprehensive, community-informed plan to help immigrants in Allegheny County thrive. All for All seeks to turn that plan into action through four pillars of inclusion: municipal engagement, families & youth, economic development, and civic engagement. By building trust between immigrant communities, public officials, and law enforcement, engaging youth and families, activating career pathways for immigrants, and advancing citizenship supports, All for All is shaping the Pittsburgh region into a truly livable community for immigrants and refugees.

All for All is led by Lais Alexander and operates out of The Global Switchboard.
