Civic Engagement The Nevada Association of Student Councils believes that service to the community is essential to our organization. Camaraderie among member schools is an absolute priority for the association and we believe there is no greater way to achieve this than to serve with one another. This year, for the first time in our organization’s history, NASC will be sponsoring a statewide community service day in which councils will meet in regions of their state to serve with one another. Not only do we feel that service is integral to NASC, we feel that the members of each council should understand why we serve. In coordination with regional representatives, we will be inviting community leaders to participate in each region’s event. Civic Engagement is an absolute priority to the Nevada Association of Student Councils and our member schools.
The following are outlined steps in which we hope to make this event a true success:
- Inviting community leaders to participate in our statewide community service event. We hope that by the presence of prominent state officials, the leaders participating from their respective schools will be reminded of the importance of civic engagement.
- The Nevada Association of Student Councils regional officers in coordination with the executive directors will send out press releases to local medias throughout the state.
- NASC will contact charities and nonprofits throughout the state and strive to have a central location in which schools can meet and be civically engaged. We recognize that there may be logistical concerns with schools in rural areas and we plan on working with schools that are in fact interested to make a specific plan for them.
- In order to allow for each region to be able to participate. Each region will set their own date and time for their community service.
How does my council come into play?
Spread the word to your members! We want your council to be there serving the community and understanding the importance of being civically engaged.
