Whitney Young Job Corps Y2Y student ambassadors and Parks and Recreational Director Chris Truelock are excited about a new partnership to benefit the community – WMYJCC adopts Simpsonville Park. During the spring, summer and fall months, students will volunteer once a month to keep the park clean, and make repairs to the park facility. In addition there are great community events that the students will be involved with such as the Fourth of July community event, farmers market, parade and the fall festival. Students will have the opportunity to use their creative talents and make floats for the parade.

The partnership with the city of Simpsonville also offers work-based learning opportunities for the building construction technology students as well.
