The Pennsylvania Compeer Coalition
The Pennsylvania Compeer Coalition is an affiliation of the 13 Pennsylvania Compeer programs that support each other's programs and the promotion of Compeer programming in Pennsylvania. Members of the Coalition support each other by sharing best practices and program ideas, and work together to promote Compeer throughout all regions of Pennsylvania.

- Assigning a Coalition representative to assist in start-ups.
