SUPPORT YORK XL DURING GIVE LOCAL YORK 2021 ON 5/7/2021.
For three and a half years, York XL has been meeting neighbors where they live - in the east part of York City. We've hosted 17 Street Meets, held "First in the Street" First Friday event, and invited many organizations to better maintain the gardens on Greenway. We continue our work this year in a BIG WAY through our imminent introduction of our EPIC Strategy that looks to address why our urban neighborhoods have not been able to share the prosperity of other areas such as Downtown York and the York County suburbs.

As forces came together to alleviate the trauma of Covid, we are working with neighborhoods to (re)create the platforms they need to become empowered.
Let's be
Exceptional
Exceptional communities made up of existing residents do not sprout up overnight. But it is possible discover and create catalysts--people, projects, partnerships--that will have exponential effects.
Let's be
Happy & Healthy
Happy communities are a result of engaged people who have a seat at the table and who actively participate in continuous self and community improvement.
Lasting change does not happen from the top down, from the center out, or from the outside in; only genuine community involvement can sustain the good health of a community.
Let's be
EPIC
Let's believe people are skillful, gritty, and passionate from the get go, and not in need of being "completed." Let's believe we have
Empowered People In (our) Communities.
About Us
It's fitting that York XL begun at a 2017 meeting of York residents sipping coffee on the second floor of i-ron-ic Coffee Shop & Art Boutique, a York gem that welcomes all and believes that "the three key ingredients to creating the ultimate York experience are art, coffee, and community." Since then, dozens of people diverse in gender, orientation, race, ethnicity, income, religious beliefs, and political ideology have contributed their passions, ideas, sweat, and tears to create the York XL we are today.
