(PennWatch) The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful announced the 2024-2025 cohort of Young Ambassadors of Pennsylvania. The program, administered by KPB, is designed to grow community stewards and civic leaders by engaging and empowering young Pennsylvanians to keep their communities healthy and become ambassadors for a shared vision of a clean and beautiful Pennsylvania.

Students were selected through a competitive application process and have committed to nine months of service as ambassadors. From September through May 2025, participants will develop civic leadership skills and experiences to champion and advocate for clean and beautiful communities across Pennsylvania.

“Programs like Young Ambassadors are the first step in creating lasting impact on Pennsylvania’s ecological health,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “These students will go on to become decision-makers and steer the state’s green future. Starting now is critical.”

Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful will be awarding a minimum of two $1000 scholarships to seniors in the Young Ambassadors program, both current and past participants.
