On June 10, 2016,  Kittrell Job Corps Center students volunteered to assist the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Vance County with its fundraiser event. The purpose of the two-day event, which was held at Southern Vance High School, is to celebrate people who have battled cancer and remember loved ones that lost their lives to  cancer. Students and staff prepared luminary bags and lined them on the football field and assisted the setup. These bags were sold for a profit to support the American Cancer Society. Center students joined the cancer survivor lap that followed the opening ceremony.
