Students for Global Citizenship Club (S4GC)
Students for Global Citizenship is an official student club at Brookdale Community College. Members are active in events that bring about awareness of global issues to the Brookdale Community. We meet every other Thursday of each month during the regular semester.
CLUB PURPOSE
- Improve the lives of others by promoting human rights
- Empower students to act and raise awareness about global issues
- Create educational opportunities (e.g., speakers, workshops, panels, action groups) to increase awareness and activism
- Provide resources for students seeking involvement in community service projects
- Collaborate with Brookdale-based and community-based organizations that are devoted to bringing about awareness and change
CLUB FOCUS
Each year, the club chooses a theme and works toward bringing awareness of the global issues surrounding the theme. Then members act by collecting donations or fundraising to support an organization or group in need.
