SCRC Mission Statement
The Shippensburg Community Resource Coalition is a collaborative effort 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.
Our Purpose and Objectives
-
To increase access to social services and counseling services.
-
To increase access to youth programming.
-
To partner with existing stakeholders such as the school district and Shippensburg University to meet educational and community needs.
Our History
The SCRC was started in 2010 in response to the growing need to help residents find and utilize social services. Shippensburg falls between the counties of Franklin and Cumberland which means that services can be difficult for community members to access if the services extend to Shippensburg at all. The Resource Coalition has brought service providers and community members together since this time, with the aim of connecting clients with resources as well as developing programs to meet needs.
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 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 effort into prevention work.
