Conferences

Each fall, the SSCCC holds a leadership development event similar to a General Assembly, except that resolutions are not presented for discussion or debate. 

Next leadership development event is the Advocacy Academy on December 5 - 7, 2025 in Riverside at the Riverside Convention Center. 

The SSCCC is hosting a student-led Federal Advocacy Academy in Washington, D.C. from March 1 – March 4, 2026. This form is to express your interest in attending the event. The conference will focus on uplifting student voices at the national level and providing direct engagement with federal policymakers.

The General Assembly is an annual event held each spring. Participants gather tools and tips on how to be an effective student leader, advocate, and representative.  They network with other students around the state, receive information on current topics and issues, and debate on resolutions submitted by students at California community colleges that guide the organization. 

Next General Assembly:  March 27 - 29, 2025, in San Francisco at the Hyatt Regency.  

Either in March or April, the SSCCC holds a March in March or Advocacy in April Event. This is an event that brings students to Sacramento to lobby the legislature on issues of concern for students. Generally, key legislators, Chancellor’s Office staff, and other partners address the students and then students visit legislators from their district to lobby on local issues.
