The Scooter Scott Project

The Scooter Scott Project (SSP) is a volunteer based non-profit organization founded on building faith, families, and futures. We do this through a Christ-centered, cross-denominational, relationship-based approach. We partner with like-minded individuals, business, churches, organizations and municipalities. There are numerous activities that the Scooter Scott Project engages in weekly to prepare young adults for life, as well as give them hope out of their current situations. SSP is a prevention ministry that primarily functions through mentors and teaching tomorrow's leaders important life skills. This organization works to bring light into dark places throughout the midlands and meet immediate needs while working to build relationships with every person they encounter and equip them for the life they were meant to live.

We exist to build faith, families and futures. The primary ways SSP does this is through the Leadership Academy, GED Program, and Driver's Permit Program. The Leadership Academy is at the heart of SSP, which helps students excel in school, while teaching them the life skills that are needed upon graduation. This program also enables students to succeed through learning how to be an entrepreneur through the SSP hand soap business, in which all proceeds go toward their scholarships. In addition, The Scooter Scott Project engages with adults who are working to attain their GED. Every Saturday morning, over 100 students and volunteer tutors from around the state gather together to work on a series of four tests which prepare and allow students to receive their GED entirely for free. SSP also works with high school students at least quarterly through the driver's permit program, which takes students through eight hours of instruction through the SC Driver's Manual and exposes them to driving through a golf cart and virtual simulation.
