The Community Service Leadership Committee was established in Fall of 2003 with the purpose of organizing what was an existing concept into a formal process. Members of the committee consist of one freshman and one sophomore from each team. The CSLC’s mission is to 1) provide charitable and/or monetary assistance to nonprofit organizations in need of a helping hand and 2) promote awareness of the Daytona State College student-athletes’ involvement in charitable activities/programs in the Daytona Beach community.
The Arc of Volusia serves approximately 250 Volusia County adults with developmental disabilities. The Deland and Daytona Beach training centers each serve about 100 individuals providing self-help skill acquisition programs, and work skill development and sheltered workshop programs.
