Volunteerism and Community Service 480.423.6545 www.scottsdalecc.edu/serve-learn-lead Volunteerism gives students valuable knowledge while providing community organizations with needed human resources. SCC's Service- learning 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 who want to try their own hands at planning and facilitating a volunteer experience, the Service-learning and Leadership Office works with faculty to coordinate courses with related opportunities embedded in them and advises a student club, Artie's Community for Service (ACeS). Or, if students would like to learn more about leadership and social change in an academic setting, the office offers a three-credit hour course, LDR100 The Leader in You. The class is scheduled for 14 weeks in both the fall and spring terms. 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.
