About S&S Society

Elleson McCumber

Hi! I’m the founder and Executive Director of Service & Social Society and a MSE/IB student at Suncoast Community High School. I started S&S Society in 2022 to raise awareness of community issues and help students like you find meaningful volunteer opportunities.

S&S Society offers planned events where students volunteer, socialize, and have fun while helping nonprofits address some of our community’s most challenging issues. Through S&S Society, you can join forces with students in your community, rally for a cause, and collaborate on impactful student-led initiatives.

I’m passionate about the arts and STEM and enjoy sharing my talents with those in need. Whether it’s through time, talents, or treasures, everyone has something unique to give. Embrace your passion today and discover how you can take action to make a difference.

Sign up to volunteer at our events, lead your own Day of Service project, attend the S&S Society Leadership Retreat, become an Ambassador, or start your own chapter. Join S&S Society today and become tomorrow’s civic leaders!

Matheson McCumber

I’m the Vice President of Communications for S&S Society and a piano major at Dreyfoos School of the Arts. I’ve been leading projects and volunteering in the community with S&S for a couple of years, and it always feels good to give back. You’d be surprised how much of a difference even one person can make to someone in need. There are so many ways to get involved. I encourage you to volunteer at different events, find what you’re passionate about, and then lead your own Day of Service project.

Share your talents.
