About Seminole Community Volunteer Program

Seminole Community Volunteer Program, Inc. is dedicated to improving the quality of life in Seminole County. Through innovative partnerships and collaborations, we provide skilled volunteers who positively impact: Education, Environment, Public Safety, Health & Human Needs.

During 1997, the Board of Directors of SCVP worked together to complete a 5-Year Strategic Plan. This plan included becoming a Points of Light Foundation member, to create our expanded mission and the Seminole Volunteer Center.

The challenges of today demand new and innovative techniques to effectively marshal resources and provide a "vision of tomorrow." Our traditional role as provider of volunteers will be enlarged to include being an initiator of programs that deal with problems facing our communities. Simply put, the Volunteer Center will mobilize people and resources to deliver creative solutions to community problems. The board's decision was motivated by compassion and the confidence that together people can work wonders.

The Volunteer Center will blend ideas and expertise from all segments of Seminole County to come up with realistic and creative volunteer approaches to serious problems.

A strategic plan would not be complete without a vision. With that in mind, the Board of Directors of SCVP, Inc. committed themselves to the following:

"We envision that community service is promoted and valued by all Seminole County residents, regardless of age, race or gender as a civic responsibility; an opportunity to improve community conditions by helping others to help themselves; and, to prepare all residents to face the challenges of the twenty-first century. That, through their service commitment guarantee a continuum of the community service philosophy from generation to generation and by becoming an integral part of their county's future success, they will influence the future success of Florida."
