SCI seeks to encourage and highlight student participation in community-based projects working to address specific local challenges facing the people of Jacksonville. Some current possibilities for students to volunteer their time and talents include tutoring or mentoring children, working with the elderly and the homeless, building houses with Habitat for Humanity, and caring for shelter animals. For further information see Volunteer Opportunities and Upcoming.
SCI will provide information to students interested in volunteering through this blog and through our Facebook and MySpace pages. Many FCCJ students and faculty are already doing good work in the community, and SCI wants to provide them with outlets for reporting on those activities. Faculty involved with service-learning projects and student organizations can post information, updates, and photos of students engaged in community projects on this blog. Students can post their own photos, updates, and upcoming events on the Facebook and MySpace pages.
