The Northeast Texas Community College Foundation recently hosted a luncheon to honor the NTCC WorKampers. The unique WorKamping Program allows full-time RVers an opportunity to exchange work for rent at a small RV park located on the NTCC campus. Retirees and disabled workers can share their considerable experience and talents to help with projects like landscaping, painting, farming, electrical, plumbing, and computer support. While WorKampers are only expected to volunteer 15 hours per week, many end up working much more as they become invested in projects.

Students who will graduate high school in 2022 are invited to join the Summer Success Program at NTCC!  This is a great opportunity for new grads to get a jump start on college and make new friends!

In addition to experiencing life on a college campus, participants will also be involved in special activities designed to boost their overall success rate as a college student.
