Mission Statement

The New Sun Rising exists as a non-profit organizational framework that launches projects to positively impact cultural, environmental, and social wellness. Our organizational goal is to create measurable change through projects that will primarily affect the region of Western Pennsylvania through direct action, education, social service, goods, and training. There will be a focused effort to creatively approach projects by incorporating cultural elements to further enhance the societal benefit. The projects will be introduced or identified through the Board of Directors, and developed and executed through the membership and committees.

The New Sun Rising exists and governs with the following values: accountability, awareness, creativity, inclusiveness and balance.


Grable Foundation + New Sun Rising = Summer Library Programming for Millvale Youth!

Thanks to generous support and funding from the Grable Foundation (www.grablefdn.org), the New Sun Rising is providing summer library programming for the children of Millvale and the surrounding areas!  Programming is taking place on the 2nd floor of the Millvale Community Center (416 Lincoln Ave, Millvale, PA) during the months of June, July, and August, and provides fun and positive educational opportunities free of charge.  

 


New Sun Rising Receives $5,000 from Community Connections Program!

In 2008, the city of Pittsburgh will celebrate its 250th birthday. The $1 million Community Connections program was created to celebrate this noteworthy birthday through supporting programs highlighting the "Pride and Progress" throughout 14 counties of the Southwestern Pennsylvania region. This quite competitive process saw 540 project proposals received for funding, with 100 being chosen (http://www.imaginepittsburgh.com).

Current Projects

Millvale Library Project

Contact info:
www.millvalelibrary.org

Through the building of strategic partnerships, and a groundswell of grassroots support, the New Sun Rising is spearheading an effort to acquire a dilapidated building in Millvale's main business district, and turn it into a hub of educational and community activity. The library and coffee shop will boost your mind, and your energy! Not only that, but we are also working closely with the Borough of Millvale, and the Millvale Business Development Corporation (www.millvalepa.com) to turn a forgotten plot of land on Grant Avenue into a green space where residents and patrons can relax, and mingle.

The Horizon Experience

Contact info:
Scott Wolovich - 412.855.7433 - swolovich@yahoo.com

This program will establish an event for those of different socioeconomic profiles, to have positive relationship-building experiences in the critical early life stages. Opportunities to create mutually positive experiences, to embrace uniqueness of diversity, and to find common threads of perception will be pursued. There will also be a focus on cultural and creative exposure. Children will be identified for participation in the Experience to include varied family and neighborhood backgrounds in the Greater Pittsburgh region.
