An SAcommunity volunteer project is assisting councils to benefit their communities through data

SAcommunity is always looking for new initiatives to support the community and provide better services to councils across the state. Many programs that form a major part of SAcommunity's operations and services began their lives as volunteer led projects. Our video series, and many of our training modules, were born as a result of volunteer interest in video editing and content creation, as were many of our social media initiatives, and the entire SAcommunity media team.
