Collbran Job Corps and “Tamale Day”

Collbran Job Corps Center made 1,000 tamales on January 15 at the Migrant and Children’s Council. This is the council’s main fundraiser and these tamales are very popular. Under the direction of the cook and the director of the council, our students spend a long day making all those tamales. There is never of shortage of students wanting to help. This is a very important activity to the center and the council.

Collbran JCC Training Day

Collbran JCC annual training lasts one and one half day. Policies are reviewed and questions answered. Where the center has been and where it is going is always a highlight. The staff share meals and a white elephant activity at the end of the day. Everyone gets to know each other better which contributes to our great center culture.

Collbran JCC and the Giving Tree

Collbran Job Corps, through the Student Government Association, chooses a way to help others at Christmas. In the past, the center has sponsored a family, aided “Toys for Tots” and helped buy and wrap gifts for families of veterans. This year the students chose “The Giving Tree” and eight students went shopping for gifts. We are thankful as a center to be able to help others especially at this time of year.
