VISION is a non-profit organization that empowers members of the community
so they can make the positive changes they would like to see in their community.
In 1997, leaders involved in Schuylkill County’s VISION looked around and realized the community was in the midst of change – from jobs to income to diversity of our population to education, healthcare and even recreation.
To make progress and compete with the rest of the state and country, they realized that we needed to come together and create a plan for our future.

Ten years ago, Schuylkill County’s VISION finalized a 20-yearstrategic plan for the future of our area. To make the VISION Plan a reality many became VISION Partners. Partners are individuals, organizations, churches, civic groups, or government entities who:
• Believe in making our community better
• Adopt strategies found in the VISION strategic plan
• Make periodic progress reports or benchmarks
• Affiliate with VISION by using the name in their materials
• Make things happen
