Healthy Schuylkill Summer 

     Healthy Schuylkill Summer is a program done in cooperation with the county libraries each summer that brings a healthy message to children as they begin each session of their summer reading program. Good nutrition and exercise, as well as other themes, reinforce healthy habits each session.

​The Motor Vehicle Safety Coalition 

     The Motor Vehicle Safety Coalition has produced a program that has been used in every varsity football stadium during fall football season.  The Arrive Alive, Don’t Text and Drive message has been received by up to 15,000 people every week in the fall.

​Healthy Schuylkill Communities

     Healthy Schuylkill Communities can now be found in Schuylkill Haven, Shenandoah and Mahanoy City. These programs focus on improving community health with projects that come from the communities. Whether it is rebuilding a park in Shenandoah, starting a Farmers’ Market in Schuylkill Haven, or designing in-town walking trails in Mahanoy City, these coalitions are making a difference in the lives of their residents. A team from Shenandoah is working with a coach from Roberts Woods Johnson on a national Action Award to address health in Shenandoah.  Mahanoy City and Shenandoah are working with the University of Pittsburgh on Walk Works for their communities.

The Schuylkill County Youth Summit

     The Schuylkill County Youth Summit is facilitated by Schuylkill County’s VISION.   Students from all area high schools come together to learn about the issues they have identified as essential to address for the future of the county. The students go into their communities from the summit with plans on how to move the agenda forward. A Community Advisory Group and a community Jobs Awareness group support the work of the students.

Folk Art Project-The Walk In Art Center

     The Walk In Art Center is designated as the Folk Art Center for Schuylkill, Lancaster and Berks counties. a folklorist is employed by the center to interview and document folk art  traditions in the 3 counties. This center documents, demonstrates and celebrates the rich ethnic and cultural heritage of Schuylkill County.  VISION assisted in the facilitating the project.
