Luzerne County is primarily known for coal mining and lush, rolling hills. Home to approximately 326,000 residents, it is also the most populous county in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The borough features historic cities such as Wilkes Barre and Scranton as well as several impressive state parks that allow visitors to get in touch with nature.

Regional 3 Community Engagement Coach Highlight

Regional 3 Community Engagement Coach Mr. Reilly Meyer started at PA Distance in July 2022 as a member of the Community Engagement Team. His primary role is to arrange educational events and aid families by providing them with valuable local resources.

One of his favorite memories as a Regional Coach was hosting Game Night in Allentown, where all ages came to make new friends, discuss school-related matters, and partake in some friendly competition.

“It was great seeing all our students laugh and have fun,” stated Mr. Meyer.

Other events Mr. Meyer organized were a recent trip to SkyZone: Pittston and a Wilkes Barre Penguins hockey game in January.

Mr. Meyer anticipates spending time with his Northeastern PA pals on upcoming engagement trips throughout the summer. 

“I'm hoping to see our families at the pool pop-up events we have coming up in July. It's gonna be a blast!”
