45 students and staff at North Texas Job Corps registered to vote on September 24th, National Voter Registration Day.  The Center joined thousands of other organization, businesses, schools, churches, and individuals across the United States in registering persons to vote on this special day set aside nationally for voter registration.  The center partnered with the Collin County NAACP, Chi Zeta Omega Chapter of AKA, and the Collin County Graduate Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta to register the students and staff at the North Texas Job Corps.  The center will continue to educate its students about the importance of voting and provide the opportunities for students and staff to register.
