Our Mission and Vision is about you! Luminari is surrounded by eclectics, polymaths, even oddball geniuses…and we too want you to share your unique brand of genius with us! What's your inspiration? What do you want to change, improve or grow? We are interested in hearing from luminari across a number of disciplines, including:
...But we don't get too hung up on labels. So we are open to a diverse range of possibilities when it comes to developing programs to offer through Luminari.
We are focused on enriching the lives of our program participants, creating a ripple effect for the Luminari community to carry newly acquired skills and ideas to affect positive change and inspire lifelong learning. We believe the Pittsburgh community can become even more prosperous, vibrant and culturally enriching—an environment that nurtures innovative initiatives. That's why we created Luminari and why we've put into place the people and the structure to connect you with what you need to make your vision for a dynamic new program come to life.
Maybe you're not the type to be the lead singer at center stage... but that's okay. We need your unique talent, too! We have projects and people who are looking for your specific brand of genius to set the rhythm, keep the beat and help make something beautiful!
Luminari is continuously expanding its cadre of innovators and experts. We invite you to attend a program or join our online community to learn more about Luminari. If you have a particular expertise, are an open-minded "big thinker" or want to lend your support in a particular way, contact Luminari for further information.
So if you have an idea, Do It! If your idea isn't quite ready for primetime, get involved in the conversation or find your inspiration. We've put the pieces in place…it's time to play, get dirty and make some noise!
