Committee members are looking for ways to become involved with the chamber's nonprofit members. The committee agreed to work with at least one nonprofit per quarter to become involved in a project that the nonprofit has launched. The vision of this group is to enhance the ability to live, work and play within Schuylkill County, by creating a strong community of young, business-minded professionals, in their 20s and 30s, while making measurable impacts regarding their professional and personal lives.
