The Community Service Leadership Committee was established in Fall of 2003 with the purpose of organizing what was an existing concept into a formal process. Members of the committee consist of one freshman and one sophomore from each team. The CSLC’s mission is to 1) provide charitable and/or monetary assistance to nonprofit organizations in need of a helping hand and 2) promote awareness of the Daytona State College student-athletes’ involvement in charitable activities/programs in the Daytona Beach community.
