Our History
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s mission is to empower Pennsylvanians to keep our communities clean and beautiful. Across the state, we work with local affiliates and community partners to provide the resources needed for projects like litter cleanups, tree plantings, community gardens, and other neighborhood improvements. Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful believes that education is where lasting change begins. Each year, we offer youth education programs that inspire the next generation to care for our land and water and to understand their impact on the environment and take pride in protecting the places they call home.
Our Core Values include:
- Improving communities, their environment and quality of life is a shared responsibility.
- Partnering with public and private sector organizations and individuals are essential to achieve equitable and sustainable community improvement.
- Engaging and activating people in our community improvement efforts fosters community stewardship.
- Access to both services and resources, as well as education, are both essential to encouraging positive behaviors toward community improvement.
- Diversity is a resource and the diversity of our affiliate network and volunteers is a fundamental strength.
