The way people came together in person to share resources, support services, ideas, and energy, was exactly what we were hoping for, and it was the feedback we received over and over again. *There were many people caught speaking with facilitators. "Lot's of engagement going on, which made it a successful event in my book". **Mo’Ney Thomas, Majestic Moments Photography*** Events like this remind us that no single organization can meet every need alone. The real impact happens when partners join forces and open doors for one another to meet the needs of the community. We’re deeply grateful to the organizations who worked alongside Onward Seniors to make this day possible. Each brings unique opportunities, activities, and resources for older adults in our community, and we encourage you to explore their websites and newsletters to stay involved year-round:   ![Highland Park](https://onwardseniors.org/hubfs/7R401182-2.jpg "Highland Park") ![Better Lives Through Learning](https://onwardseniors.org/hubfs/7R401065-1.jpg "Better Lives Through Learning") ![Highland Park](https://onwardseniors.org/hubfs/7R400953.jpg "Highland Park") **Partner Organizations** | [Be Healthy, Be Smart (BHS)](https://bhswellness.org/be-healthy-and-smart-initiative?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | [Neighborhood Legal Services (NLS)](https://nlsa.us/about-us/nls-newsletters/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | --- | --- | | [Cacie Cunningham Phelps (Yoga Instructor)](https://www.linkedin.com/in/caciephelps/) | [OLLI @ Pitt (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute)](https://olli.pitt.edu/)         | | [Catapult Greater Pittsburgh](https://catapultpittsburgh.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | [Per Scholas](https://perscholas.org/news/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | [Center for Hearing & Deaf Services (HDS)](https://www.hdscenter.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | [Rachel Carson Trails Conservancy](https://www.rachelcarsontrails.org/events?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | [Dementia Friendly Pennsylvania](https://www.dementiafriendlypa.org/calendar-events?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | [Senior Blue Book](https://seniorsbluebook.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | [DHS Area Agency on Aging](https://www.alleghenycounty.us/Services/Human-Services-DHS/DHS-Offices/Area-Agency-on-Aging) | [Three Rivers Rowing Association (TRRA)](https://www.threeriversrowing.org/calendar?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | [Goodwill – Tech Academy (Goodwill SWPA)](https://www.goodwillswpa.org/life-changing-services/education-and-training/the-goodwill-tech-academy/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | [UPMC Alzheimer Research (University of Pittsburgh ADRC)](https://www.upmc.com/services/seniors/research-and-clinical-trials/university-of-pittsburgh-research/alzheimer-disease-research-center?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | [Joy Riders (Joy Riders Pgh)](https://www.joyriderspgh.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | [UPMC Community Outreach & Cardiovascular Health (COACH) Program](https://www.upmc.com/services/heart-vascular/about/classes-events?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | [Kingsley Association](https://www.kingsleyassociation.org/) | [UPMC Health Plan Neighborhood Center](https://upmchealthplan.com/en/about/community/neighborhood-center?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | [Literacy Pittsburgh](https://www.literacypittsburgh.org/events/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | [UPMC Senior Services (SeniorLine resources)](https://www.upmc.com/services/seniors?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | [Macedonia FACE Senior Services](https://www.macedoniaface.org/seniorcitizennewsletter?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | [Urban Dance Connection of Pittsburgh](https://www.urbandanceconnection.com/2025-2026-schedule/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | [Meals Direct](https://mealsdirectllc.net/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | [Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh](https://ulpgh.org/events/list/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) | | [Mt.

At Onward Seniors, our role is to make engagement pathways visible and easy, in order to help more people discover opportunities they might not otherwise know about. When we work together, we expand the reach of information and make sure more resources are shared. We look forward to building on this momentum, and we are extremely appreciative of our partners, participants, and volunteers who continue to show up and remind us why this work matters. ##### [Renee Durham](https://onwardseniors.org/blog/author/renee-durham) ###### Spread the word - [Share this blog post on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=I+found+this+interesting+blog+post&url=https://onwardseniors.org/blog/building-strong-pathways-together) - [Share this blog post on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://onwardseniors.org/blog/building-strong-pathways-together) - [Share this blog post on LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://onwardseniors.org/blog/building-strong-pathways-together) ###### Leave a comment ### What's new Be first to know what's hot off the menu.
