*   Holding a used-book drive to raise funds for the Staunton Public Library

and much more! SYC is constantly adding new events to their calendars!

 
The students in this organization are self-motivated to participate in these events that result in self-satisfaction. These students learn numerous life lessons, including responsibility, event planning, organization skills, teamwork, respect, and the feeling of success. SYC is a group of sincere high school students who are willing to give up their free time to help better the community they live in. We will be hosting numerous events in the near future, so keep checking the calendar of events!
