Wits Citizenship and Community Outreach - WCCO

Wits Citizenship and Community Outreach - WCCO By reaching out to the communities around us, Wities hold in their hands the possibility to make our country new. Getting involved is really up to you.

WCCO provides Wits students with real-world experiences, and opportunities to enhance their learning and civic responsibility, while addressing community needs. Choose to work as a volunteer on campus or in your community or other communities. Work with institutions that care for children, youth, the disabled or the aged. Become involved in causes as diverse as environmental justice; sustainable d

evelopment, literacy, and rights advocacy for children, disabled persons or for animals. We encourage student volunteers to commit to at least two hours per week to their chosen cause, organization or activity. But even if academic and other student commitments limit the time you may have available, make time to reach out. This year WCCO is focusing on supporting better educational outcomes for learners in our communities. One of the most enduring contributions we can make- and one of the most rewarding for volunteers- is to help establish more tutoring initiatives at Gauteng high schools and reading clubs at primary schools and early childhood development centres. Your contribution could include tutoring, mentoring, establishing, organizing events, fundraising, clothes and food collections, cleaning, painting and awareness-raising.
