What is the SVC GOLD Program? 

The GOLD (Graduates Of the Last Decade) Program is a regional SVC young alumni network that works within the existing SVC Alumni Association. The GOLD Program connects young alumni in their 20’s and early 30’s during their first ten years following graduation from SVC.
 
Quicktime is required to view this video.

All alumni who have graduated within the last 10 years are automatically part of the GOLD Program.  GOLD meetings and events are geared toward young alumni, but anyone is welcome, including friends of alumni. Typical events include after-work socials at a local restaurant or club, sporting events, volunteer opportunities or anything unique to a regional area.

All Members of the GOLD Program are asked to participate in the GOLD Standard of Giving.  Each alum is asked to contribute at least $10 for each year since graduation.  Members of the GOLD Program, that participate in the GOLD Standard of Giving will receive special benefits, that are exclusive to GOLD Standard of Giving participants only.

A goal of the SVC GOLD Program is to have at least one GOLD contact person (“Area Coordinator”) in each city. These Area Coordinators work with other young alumni at a monthly after-work “planning meeting” to help organize events and activities specifically for GOLD members in those areas! GOLD Area Coordinators are also provided excellent leadership skills and become key players within the larger SVC Alumni Association!
