Working Groups (WorGs)

JOIN A WORKING GROUP!

You don’t have to be on the Board or at conference to get involved in the exciting student leadership and activism that happens in SCM. Check out some of the Working Groups you can join to contribute and collaborate with students from across the country!

We are especially looking for members to help plan our November Pilgrimage of Resistance to the School of Americas. Being on a WorG gives you great organizing and team-work experience for your resume.

Simply Contact Us to indicate your interest in getting involved in one or more of our volunteer committees below.
