Volunteer
Self-sufficiency can be a long and difficult road to navigate for many individuals and families, but here at the South Central Community Action Program we know that the road can be successfully traveled with the right support systems in place. You can be a part of that support system. By sharing the time and talents with our organization, you can change the life of a low-income individual or family in our community.
SCCAP needs individuals & groups who enjoy new experiences and advocating for others in need. We celebrate diversity and encourage everyone to volunteer. Volunteering is a excellent way to show your community that you care. When you volunteer with SCCAP you obtain the opportunity to build new strengths, explore new talents, and meet new people. By volunteering at SCCAP you become a member of a team that has a long-standing community for caring.
