Student Ambassadors for New Students
As a Student Ambassador, you will assist new students throughout their first Red and Blue Day at Justice High School. Responsibilities include:
- Student Ambassadors will attend a formal orientation on Fri, 10/11 and then a mid-year check-in
- Meet your new student in Student Services on the first day (only assigned to one each time)
- On a Red Day, take your new student to get a laptop and escort to 1st period
- On a Blue day, give your new student a tour of the school and/or pick up a laptop
- Meet your new student for the class transition and escort them to the next period for their first Red and Blue Day
Student Peer Mentors
Student Peer Mentors will be matched with a younger student who needs support and will be provided training on how to be a Student Mentor. Student Peer Mentors could be matched with a mentee at Justice or another FCPS school in the local area. Student Peer Mentors are eligible for Service Learning credit for mentoring hours. Student mentors and mentees will be carefully selected by school staff. Student Mentors should be:
- Students who can positively contribute to the school community through their actions and their words when they are meeting with their mentee
- Students who can be a positive role model for another student
- Students who can faithfully and consistently show up for meetings with their mentee (they are looking forward to meeting with you and it's difficult if you cancel or arrive late often)

Justice High School is a proud partner with Food for Neighbors, a local organization who helps to feed our students outside of school hours.
Food for Neighbors collects food from the surrounding community via the Red Bag Program and donating directly to their partner local schools. The food is distributed weekly to students through our food pantry. Community members can make a difference in a student's life by simply adding a few extra items to your grocery shopping cart every two months.
If you're interested in supporting this initiative, you can get a tax deductible for the food that you donate!
- Request a reusable Red Bag here and Food for Neighbors will drop it off at your house
- Fill the Red Bag with food items that are listed on the tag
- Put the Red Bag outside your front door in the morning on the next bag collection day. Collection Dates are listed here but also on your tag.
Food for Neighbors is also looking for volunteers!
