 SIC Volunteer Corps.

SIC's Volunteer Corps is open to any student or member of the community who wishes to serve on an unpaid voluntary basis either at the College, in the community or with an area agency, institution or business. The purpose of volunteer service is to raise the consciousness of the individual volunteer, as well as those served, by the difference that giving of one's time and effort can mean for themselves and others.

A student or community member may enroll in a course entitled VOL 121 - Volunteer Service. A person may earn one (1) credit hour of Pass/Fail college credit each semester for 32 contact hours of unpaid service. There is not tuition charge for enrolling in this course.
