We are very excited as Venango County joins the map of Heart & Soul’s nationwide network! Community Heart & Soul, a resident-driven process, empowers every member of our town to play a vital role in shaping our collective future. Together, we’ll identify what we cherish most about our community, envision the future we desire, and collaborate on strategies to achieve it.

On February 22, local ambassadors gathered at PennWest Venango Campus to kickoff Phase 1— IMAGINE. In this initial phase, we aim to establish a core team and to foster awareness, interest, and commitment in all segments of our community. We will also begin examining our community’s composition and connections, devising a plan to engage and reach everyone.

If you’re interested in learning more about this exciting initiative, contact Ashley by phone at (814) 676-8521 or by email at asmith@venangochamber.org.
