SCC's Servicelearning and Leadership Office makes these experiences available for the individual, a group and the entire college. For students, volunteering is an important way to distinguish themselves from other job, scholarship and university applicants. Many of these entities now require volunteerism in order to be eligible for consideration, and almost all see volunteerism as evidence that applicants are able to apply learning and give back to their communities. A complete list for the upcoming academic year can be found by visiting the office or its website. For students that want to try their own hand at planning and facilitating a volunteer experience, the Service-learning and Leadership Office offers a two-credit hour course. LDR 101 Emerging Leaders uses the framework of leadership to make positive social change. The class runs for eight weeks in either the fall or spring term. To participate or learn more about volunteerism at SCC, contact the Service-learning and Leadership Office in the Student Center Building, Room 100, or call.
