The week of August 10 – 18, 2012, marked the eighth year in a row that the Penobscot Job Corps Academy (PJCA) Culinary Arts department has provided catering services for the Senior League World Series in Bangor, Maine. The Senior League World Series features ten teams of 14 -16 year olds; that include five United States Regional winners, four International Champions, and the host team from Maine District 3.  The PJCA prepares 250 meals twice a day during the event for team members, umpires, and volunteers at lunch and dinner. This year 35 students and 4 staff members put in a total of 2800 community service hours during the nine day tournament. The goal for the students and staff is to ensure that nutritional needs are met while keeping in consideration the varied diet preferences of the world wide participants.  Tournament Director Mike Brooker states, “The enthusiasm, professionalism and good work of the students is only outdone by the staff members from the Penobscot Job Corps.  Often working 16 hour days during the Senior League World Series the staff members continually encourage and mentor their students during the performance of their duties.  I can honestly say that without the support of the Penobscot Job Corps the Senior League World Series would not be the success that it is”.
