Student Community Action engages students in community volunteering, providing vulnerable members of the community with social, practical and educational support. They offer a multitude of volunteering opportunities. Several of these projects are managed by Student Community Action and known as “internal projects” which are catered ideally to the interests of Cambridge-based students.
