Volunteer Opportunites

Volunteering is a great way to give back to SCC. There are a number of opportunities available through the various College and Foundation programs, such as tutoring, mentoring, assisting special programs, and helping out during fundraising events. Below are a few examples:

SCC Educational Foundation

SCCEF operates fundraisers and other special events on and off campus that are always in need of volunteers, such as Solano Business Connections, the SCC Annual Benefit Gala, and Tee Off for Athletes Golf Invitational.

In addition, volunteer opportunities are available for qualified individuals to serve on the SCCEF Board of Directors and Committees, including the Alumni Committee and Scholarship Committee.
