The PHRC has visited Adams, Allegheny, Beaver, Berks, Bradford, Bucks, Cambria, Cameron, Carbon, Centre, Chester, Clarion, Clearfield, Columbia, Crawford, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Elk, Erie, Forest, Jefferson, Juniata, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lycoming, McKean, Mercer, Mifflin, Monroe, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Pike, Potter, Schuylkill, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Tioga, Union, Venango, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Westmoreland, Wyoming, and York counties. 

Each listening session will include a presentation on the Beloved Community framework and an overview of the services and programs offered by the PHRC.

PHRC is still looking for locations to host upcoming sessions, anyone interested in partnering with the PHRC should contact Omar Henriquez.
