Our Mission Statement
For the purpose of supporting the University's goals of educating men and women to be leaders of competence, conscience and compassion, Santa Clara Community Action Program will offer opportunities of service, community based learning, advocacy, activism, and leadership to the university community.
As a chartered student organization, Santa Clara Community Action Program promotes the holistic education of the volunteer by serving the surrounding community and by reflecting upon social justice issues, with the intent of challenging the participants to commit to creating a more humane and just world.

Our Philosophy
The Santa Clara Community Action Program is an important part of the educational process that this University offers. It balances theory with practice and creates the forum through which intellectual growth--emerging out of reflection on everyday community situations--can occur. By offering the opportunity for a deeper understanding of community issues, SCCAP educates and cultivates social awareness among the student body. The members of SCCAP believe that if we can stretch the minds of the students to include a love of service and justice in community around them, then in the long run, we have contributed significantly to social change.

Our Vision Statement
Through a continued development of strong relationships between SCCAP staff, volunteers, and the greater community, we aim to grow as a high functioning organization that empowers students to make positive changes in the world beyond their time at Santa Clara.
