Shelton State Ambassadors Perform Community Service

Orange Beach, Alabama – Community service has historically been a vital part of the Ambassador program at Shelton State Community College. In addition to their various responsibilities at the College, the Shelton State Ambassadors chose to include community service as a component of their annual spring leadership training.

In preparation, the Ambassadors developed ideas for fundraising and discussed various opportunities for service. Working in conjunction with the Orange Beach Chamber of Commerce, the group opted to utilize this time for a final team project of beach repair and clean up.

Funded in part by the Ambassador produced variety show, “Shelton’s Got Talent,” the students traveled to Orange Beach, Alabama, May 21-24, 2014, for continued leadership training and service.

Ambassadors participating were Humberto (Danny) Diaz – Calera; Michael Bennett – Tuscaloosa; Russell Holcomb – Coker; James (Jay) Payne – Moundville; Alex Kirkland – Coker; Courtney Queen – Northport; Garrett McMillan – Harpersville; Curmonteal (CJ) Taylor – Aliceville; Hope Hartsfield – Northport; Ta’Nia Jackson – Cottondale; Chloe Rector – Cottondale; Darby Jones – Tuscaloosa; Kaleigh Cork – Tuscaloosa.
