Indiana County Thrives

The Indiana County Thrives Initiative is a community-driven effort aimed at building a sustainable and equitable future for coal-impacted communities in Indiana County. By developing strategic plans, securing funding, and enhancing local capacity, we support economic transitions and workforce development, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to thrive in a changing economy.

The Center's Film Series

The Center for Community Growth's Film Series, ongoing since 2013, features powerful stories of communities navigating various social, economic, and environmental transitions. While some films focus on economic and workforce shifts in coal-impacted areas, the series also highlights broader themes of justice, sustainability, and resilience. Through these screenings, we aim to foster meaningful conversations, inspire action, and provide valuable insights for communities working toward a more just and sustainable future.
