PROJECT COMPONENTS

SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMME

The programme delivers an experiential learning curriculum for volunteer service in primary and secondary schools to nurture future service leaders. Based on a structured “Plan-Serve-Reflect” approach, students can gain greater understanding of different social issues (from ageing to environmental protection), identify community needs, and take steps in serving the community in practical ways.

Please contact Caritas Hong Kong (email: ycs.volunteer.jc@caritassws.org.hk) for details.

50+ AND RETIREES PROGRAMME

The programme motivates 50+ community members to volunteer their time and skills through diverse service opportunities, and participate in service-based training to design and lead their own volunteering initiatives. The aim is to unleash their potential and apply experience and skills to nurture an active and meaningful third age.

“I learned the ‘Plan-Serve-Reflect’ framework to understand more about the needs of the elderly through experiential learning activities.
