OTHER ACTIVITIES
We follow the SkillsUSA Program of Work. Every year we raise money for non-profit organizations, such as MADD, Greater Berks Food Bank, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Salvation Army, Opportunity House, nursing homes in the Reading area, Operation Enduring Freedom in the Berks County area, and the Veterans Association. We also do community service with the Berks County Parks. We are a very busy SkillsUSA Chapter. Our goal is to get as many students involved in community fundraising and activities to help them become active members of our society.
