Volunteer at SCCAP

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 your 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.

For specific information about volunteering within certain programs, see program list below. For general information about volunteer opportunities for all other SCCAP programs or for college internship information, contact info@insccap.org.

Head Start Volunteers

To volunteer at Head Start you must attend a volunteer orientation, along with a TB test and a criminal history check. We will help you obtain these when you sign up that you would like to volunteer.  You can volunteer for as little as one hour a week or more. We are eager to make working with us a positive experience! We also have evening volunteer opportunities. (Approximately 3 hours once a month).  The children who attend Head Start are 3-5 years of age and the school days and hours vary between 7 am and 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday.

   Thriving Connections Volunteers

Thriving Connections is an innovative campaign to eliminate poverty. A local Guiding Coalition provides the framework to increase the emotional and financial stability of participating families and reduce their use of welfare benefits. Just as importantly, Thriving Connections brings the experience of poverty into the hearts and minds of community members and leaders, taking us one step closer to a national commitment to end poverty.  There are many volunteer opportunities within this program.  If you're interested in volunteering with this program please get in touch with us.
