Josh Whiteside

Josh Whiteside joined The Education Partnership as Executive Director in May 2018 to further the mission of providing school supplies to teachers and their students in under-resourced schools throughout Southwestern PA. Founded in 2009, The Education Partnership has provided more than $50 million dollars’ worth of critical school supplies to schools located in the eight-county region surrounding Pittsburgh, PA. Most recently Josh helped lead the formation of the organization’s new three-year strategic plan, launched in May 2021. Providing the tools necessary for a relevant and engaging education is paramount to the future success of students and the region as a whole. Prior to joining The Education Partnership, Josh was Co-Director and founding member of the Pittsburgh based non-profit organization Beverly’s Birthdays. Launched in Feb. 2012 as a labor of love, Beverly’s Birthdays grew rapidly filling a need in the community by celebrating the birthdays of children who may not otherwise be recognized. Josh, his wife Lindsey, and daughter Violet reside in Peters Township with their Boston Terrier, Daisy.
