PIERCE-The American College of Greece’s students have won first place in the national leg of the Global Enterprise Project (GDP) for their innovative company youthelp, and represented the country in the European finals on June 12.

After winning the Panhellenic competition, PIERCE’s Junior Achievement team – creators of youthelp – along with the winning teams from another 12 European countries took part in the European finals June 30, where the team got a special mention for a job well done!
