PENNSYLVANIA ASSOCIATION OF MULTICULTURAL COUNSELING & DEVELOPMENT
A DIVISION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA COUNSELING ASSOCIATION
What is the PAMCD?
The Pennsylvania Association of Multicultural Counseling &
Development (PAMCD) is a
division of the Pennsylvania Counseling Association (PCA) for
professional
counselors who have an interest in issues related to counseling
clients from diverse backgrounds (many of whom have obtained the state's
new LPC license for
practicing outside the school setting). We provide these
professional
counselors opportunities to network, to participate in professional
development activities, and to socialize!

For
"The 2010 AMCD Service Day in Tribute to Dr. Wyatt D. Kirk:
Change Begins with Me! Shattering the Myths and Sharing the Realities"
The purpose of the 2nd Annual AMCD Service Day is to give back to
Pittsburgh's richly diverse racial and ethnic adolescent communities by (a)
empowering emerging multicultural and diverse leaders, (b) increasing
self-respect and (c) identifying personal and cultural strengths.
The AMCD Service Day, in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be
offered during the 2010 ACA annual convention on Friday, March 19, 2010 at
various times throughout the day between 9-4pm.
Counseling professionals and leaders coupled with emerging professionals and
graduate students from across the nation will provide group and/or
individual counseling at Oliver High School, Pittsburgh Milliones
6-12/University Preparatory School, and Shuman Juvenile Detention Center.
Specifically, the programs are as follows:
*Oliver High School will focus on life skills development with the
student-athlete population.
*Pittsburgh Milliones 6-12/University Preparatory School will focus on
self-esteem and leadership development with both the gifted population and
middle school students who have achieved high honor roll.
*Shuman Juvenile Detention Center will focus on career development, conflict
resolution and self-esteem with alleged or adjudicated delinquent youths.
