About STEP, Inc.

Incorporated in 1966, the Lycoming-Clinton Counties Commission for Community Action (STEP), Inc. is a private, nonprofit Community Action Agency. STEP stands for "Success Through Engagement and Partnership," which is achieved in two ways. First, STEP’s programs engage individuals, families, and communities in their own strategies for success - the customers become involved directly, and truly own their achievements. Secondly, because no single organization can do it all, success is achieved through partnerships with complementary groups and entities that can also assist these individuals, families, and communities.

Mission Statement

To engage diverse individuals, families and communities in the pursuit of social and economic success.

Vision Statement

STEP's vision is to be a positive community and economic force, recognized as a leader in the services we provide or through the navigation of services provided by our community partners.

Service Area

STEP primarily serves residents of Lycoming and Clinton counties, with the Early Learning Resource Center Region 7 also serving Tioga County. Our Transportation services take residents to several counties outside of Lycoming and Clinton, and STEP AmeriCorps also can extend outside the bi-county area.
