About us

Avenues is a nonprofit organization committed to changing the lives of individuals with disabilities. Avenues, formerly United Cerebral Palsy, has been serving Schuylkill County and the surrounding areas since 1952. As a human service organization we are committed to providing quality services that enhance the lives of the individuals we serve. In doing so, we offer a wide variety of programs that reach people from birth to an elderly age in Schuylkill, Carbon, Northumberland, Lebanon, and Luzerne Counties.
