Get involved with SLC Corps! 

SLC Corps is a volunteer program that is focused on community building in Salt Lake City. Our goal is to strengthen the connection between people and the places they share. By drawing on volunteer’s knowledge and strength, projects will focus on community initiatives, reinventing spaces, and supporting our most vulnerable neighbors. 

Mission

The mission of SLC Corps is to channel City resources, connect with community partners and mobilize volunteers to enhance our community’s quality of life. 

Goals 

• Collaboration. Identify organizations already working in relevant spaces and collaborate with them to boost their existing work or to seek insight on SLC Corps projects. 
• Accessibility. Utilize City spaces to bring communities together and make services more accessible. 
• Inclusivity. Be mindful of barriers to access and ensure projects, volunteers and engagement efforts are culturally inclusive and intersectional.
• Growth. Salt Lake City will coordinate meaningful projects and build a strong volunteer base to support City and community initiatives and needs. 
• Support. Utilize the City’s expertise  in initiating city processes, such as permitting or resolving civil enforcement issues.
