In May 1998, community leaders and members came together to address issues facing Schuylkill County through the establishment of a nonprofit, Schuylkill County’s VISION.

Celebrating its 25^th anniversary, VISION continues to serve Schuylkill County by connecting community organizations with resources to create a better Schuylkill County. While our areas of focus have changed as other organizations have made headway to address key issues in economic growth, education, and arts and wellness, we continue to address the health and wellness, the importance of community, and quality of life of Schuylkill Countians through our partnerships and programs. We could not have reached any of these milestones without community support from partners and businesses, like you.

2023 not only sees us celebrating our silver anniversary but also ten years facilitating Healthy Schuylkill Communities, increasing access and consumption of healthy foods, and increasing opportunities for physical activity.

Additionally, we welcome the return of the Schuylkill County Youth Summit, which engages, equips, and supports youth to create a better county for them and their families. Since 2013, VISION has facilitated this county commissioners-backed program, bringing students from every high school and community leaders together to address youth concerns and interests.

Finally, we look forward to the future to address a need close to us as a nonprofit with the creation of the Schuylkill County Center for Nonprofits, providing capacity-building services that will enhance a nonprofit organization to achieve its mission and aid sustainability.

On May 10th, we will be bringing our biggest community partners and supporters together to help us celebrate our anniversary, kick off our annual Schuylkill Gives fundraising campaign, and share exciting news about our future!
