★ Connect ★ Engage ★ Serve ★

The Student Government Association (SGA) Community Relations Committee is dedicated to creating a lasting impact in Little Rock and across Arkansas through volunteerism. We've listened to your feedback and are excited to announce plans to focus on sustainable, long-term engagements with mission-based organizations. These partnerships will provide students with meaningful volunteer opportunities during the semester to address critical needs in the Little Rock community, such as food insecurity, cultural exchange, education, and youth development. Please continue to share your ideas and join us in making a bigger impact together! If you have questions or suggestions please don’t hesitate to contact Amanda Smith, SGA Vice President of Community Relations asmith@clintonschool.uasys.edu.

★ Student-Driven Impact ★

★ Take the Service Pledge ★

We believe in the power of service to transform not only our community but also ourselves. While all SGA-sponsored opportunities are voluntary, we encourage all students to embrace experiences that foster hands-on learning, personal growth, and a deeper commitment to public service. As an incentive, all current students who complete the minimum requirements listed below will receive special recognition, including a gradation cord, for your commitment to service.

Requirements for 2024 graduates: Students expecting to graduate in 2024 must complete at least 25 hours of service and attend at least 3 SGA-hosted (social or service) events in the 2023-2024 school year of Clinton School enrollment to qualify for graduation cords.

Requirements for 2025+ graduates: Students expecting to graduate in 2025+ must complete at least 50 hours of service and attend at least 5 SGA-hosted (social or service) events throughout their years of Clinton School enrollment to qualify for graduation cords.

★ Join Our Committee ★

A Community Relations Committee will launch in Spring 2025 and we welcome you to lend your skills and passion to help us facilitate planning and outreach initiatives. Meetings are only 1.5 hours per month. Additional details and dates will be announced in January.
