SCCC’s philosophy is that all of its work must be informed by and meet the needs of individuals, promote community development and health, and actively engage the community in addressing relevant systemic issues (i.e. promote positive social change). This multi-level approach to program planning and delivery is a unique and effective approach to community services. SCCC is known for its innovation and the impact of its work – both local and systemic.

SCCC’s mandate:
