The PCC Foundation is accepting student Ambassador applications for the 2021-2022 academic year. We look for students who have high academic achievement (3.2 GPA unweighted), community service participation, leadership experience, a professional appearance and motivated self-starters. Student Ambassadors must maintain full-time student status and complete a minimum of 3-5 hours of required leadership development activities per week. Ambassador activities are considered first priority in light of other work commitments – no exceptions will be made. Ambassadors receive a scholarship in the amount of full-time, in-state tuition and fees and will be provided with collegiate attire to distinguish themselves as official representatives.

Pitt County Youth for Justice and Change
The group was founded in the wake of the March for our Lives Movement. It is organized by students who are concerned for the safety and equality of their peers and is supported by the Interfaith Clergy of Greenville.
The primary purpose of the organization is to provide students with a voice in the decision making of Pitt County and to spread awareness of three key issues:
1. De facto school segregation
2. Mistreatment of minorities in schools
3. School safety and gun violence
Applications to join the group are open to college and high school students. Follow on social media below or contact us at pittcountyyjc@gmail.com. Meetings are held the third Thursday of the month at the Unitarian Church on Oakmont Blvd.
