We Are…Leadership Strong!

The Schuylkill United Way is governed by its own individual bylaws, constitution, and code of ethics

While United Way Worldwide and United Way of Pennsylvania provide branding and support services, it is the 31-member Board of Directors who is dedicated to providing funding, guidance, and encouragement to the 15 partner agencies that provide programs and services to residents of Schuylkill County for little to no charge.  Board members and officers are comprised of businessmen and women who live and work in Schuylkill County and the immediate surrounding area.  All board members volunteer their time and are elected for a term of three years and can serve two consecutive terms.  Regular meetings are held the second Monday of each month at 4:00 PM in the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce building, Pottsville.
