Piedmont Community Service Crew
Program
PCSC strives to hold a variety of events, with the goal that there is a little something for everyone. The VP of Program team constantly seeks new activities and partner organizations to add diversity to our events to meet our members' interests. They actively seek input and feedback from our members. What you see below is just a sampling of the range of what we do.
Many of our events are led by a crew member who gets to learn and practice organizational skills, ranging for very easy to quite challenging. All event leaders are mentored and coached by crew officers and the Crew Advisor. PCSC is a great way for youth to develop confidence and life skills.
