PMT was grateful to receive support from UNC-Chapel Hill Students during their spring break in Charlotte! APPLES Service-Learning is a student-led program within Carolina Center for Center for Public Service at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The students volunteered during an adaptive adults program, Community Grooves, at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library - South Boulevard location, then completed many projects at PMT's main location in Charlotte.

Community Grooves is sponsored by Arts & Science Council Culture Blocks, a community partnership funded by Mecklenburg County.
