Through the LWVPGH High School Outreach project, we have created many PowerPoint presentations. Other presentations have been created by LWVUS, LWVPA, and LWVPGH members for trainings, new member orientation, or community events. We are sharing these slide decks so that anyone, including schools, community organizations, and local Leagues may use them as reliable resources, with attribution to the LWVPGH. The League of Women Voters of Greater Pittsburgh is committed to the presentation of nonpartisan, reliable information in order to expand civic engagement and the commitment to democratic principles.

Allegheny County-specific information may be included. Before revising the PowerPoint presentations or individual slides, we make a friendly request that all users adhere to the League of Women Voters’ nonpartisan policy and standards. The League of Women Voters of Greater Pittsburgh is not responsible for revisions that might not meet the nonpartisan and reliability standards of the League of Women Voters.
