A Pennsylvania Department of Transportation program for high school students is looking for a new round of applicants.

The application period runs through June 10th. Students interested in applying should visit the Keep PA Beautiful website and choose Programs, Education then Young Ambassadors of Pennsylvania or contact Kylie McCutcheon at 724-836-4121 extension 114 or by emailing [email protected].
