mission
Our mission is simple: We grow better together.
Whether as individuals or as community groups, we succeed faster, better, and for a longer period of time by working together. Lasting community change is built on simple, one-to-one engagement of neighbors to solve problems together and for themselves.
For York County neighborhoods to prosper, they must be organically connected to each other and their transformation must be led by and for the benefit of the people that already live there. York XL is a nonprofit fund under the fiscal agency of Philanthropic Endeavors Foundation (PEF.) Your donations to us are tax-deductible through PEF.

York XL sees a different York.
We see a city core organically connected to the county; where passionate people create exceptional spaces where highly involved and invested neighbors who regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, and nationality, are proud to call home. We see a community-based system of practitioners who share their skills to those who seek them. And we see a network of community structures that serve as the nucleus for each neighborhood - for its improvement, identity, and future.
We see York nothing short of a shining example for grass-root community revitalization.

OUR GOALWe seek to engage people as individuals to encourage street-level learning that leads to action which improves neighborhoods. |
Let's beExceptional
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 beHappy
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.
|
let's be healthyHealthy
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.
