School-Required Volunteer Hours
Stanly Community Christian Ministry (SCCM) welcomes students who must complete volunteer hours for school-related programs such as senior projects, Beta Club, National Honor Society, sororities, and other service-based organizations. We provide a meaningful way for students to give back to the community while fulfilling their requirements.
​
Students ages 14 and up are eligible to volunteer. An adult must accompany those 14-15 years old, while students 16 and older may volunteer independently. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate school and extracurricular commitments and work closely with students to ensure they have a rewarding experience. Whether you need a few hours or a long-term project, SCCM provides a supportive environment where students can make a real impact. We ask that all information about your program be shared with the Volunteer Services Director (e.g., hours required, contact information, etc.)

"I love seeing young people step up to serve their community. I truly believe that the earlier someone starts volunteering, the more it shapes them into compassionate and empathetic individuals. Volunteering teaches responsibility, kindness, and an understanding of the struggles others face, lessons that stay with them for life."
​
"When students give their time to help others, they’re not just making a difference today; they’re building a foundation of service that they’ll carry into adulthood. One day, they’ll teach their own children the importance of giving back, continuing a cycle of generosity and care for generations to come. Watching these young volunteers grow in confidence, leadership, and empathy reminds me why our work matters. They are the future, and I am grateful to be part of their journey."
