Civic engagement begins with understanding how our government works, staying informed, and participating in the decisions that shape our communities. This fall, Scottsdale Community College is bringing students, employees, and community members together for a series of free, nonpartisan activities designed to make civic participation informative, accessible, and engaging.
From registering to vote and exploring the rights protected by the U.S. Constitution to casting a ballot in the November General Election, SCC offers many ways to get involved. Join us for National Voter Registration Day, put your knowledge to the test during Constitution Week, access trusted voting resources, and make your voice heard at SCC’s on-campus voting location.
All activities are free and open to students, employees, and the general public.
