The purpose of the coalition is to provide quality social services and youth programs that are accessible, safe, and honor the dignity of each person. This work includes a reduction in risk factors related to youth substance use and social, emotional, and physical health in order to increase youth resiliency. Our goal is to help community members reach their full potential.

The coalition, previously named "Healthy Shippensburg Coalition", decided to change its name to Shippensburg Community Resource Coalition (SCRC) to become more consistent with its goals and mission. Along with providing quality social services and youth programming for the Shippensburg community, the coalition works on ways to reduce risk factors related to youth substance use and to increase youth resiliency. Thanks to the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) grant through the CDC, SCRC is able to address these areas more and put more efforts toward prevention work. 

​

The Shippensburg Community Resource Coalition (SCRC) is a group of community members, business owners, and health and human service providers. The coalition will work to implement new programs, policies, and/or procedures in the community to help break down identified barriers and fill in the gaps in services to increase the overall well-being of Shippensburg residents. This is a task-oriented group and anyone who lives, plays, works, or worships in the Shippensburg community is welcome to join! The coalition is currently working on identified groups to focus our work on.
