• Every year, we collaborate with local NGOs and social service units. Four students from different departments are grouped by their interests and assigned to different service targets. They serve not less than 80 hours in the community during summertime.
• In the pre-service stage (April-May), with guidance by the course instructor, the group conducts agency visit and writes a service proposal. During the service stage (June-August), the course instructor and organization worker provide supervision and advice to students. In the post-service period (September), students submit individual and group reports, and oral presentation are required.
• The service emphasizes the application of academic knowledge and skills as well as the reflection of self and social issues.

Students with Hearing Disability | Acknowledgment: SLCO Community Resources Limited

Our goal was to support Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) students by broadening their exposure to social topics and strengthening their English learning. We successfully sparked their curiosity and encouraged them to learn. We also gained insights into Hong Kong’s accommodations for DHH students, noting the differences between mainstream education and the dual bilingual programme in secondary schools.

Ethnic Minorities | Acknowledgment: Ultimate United Hong Kong

We designed activities tailored to their needs, covering four themes: Health & Nutrition, Chinese Culture, Microbiology, and Mini Society. Our goal was not only to educate but also to foster belonging, self-worth, and a positive attitude toward growth.

Community Bridging | Acknowledgment: Loday Culture

We found that cleaners are often ignored, discriminated against, and lack protection for their rights and safety. To address this, we co-designed card games with cleaners to create an equal dialogue platform, amplify their voices, and foster empathy among participants, aiming to improve the imbalance of rights.

Rehabilitated Substance Abusers and their Families | Acknowledgment: LC-HKs Rainbow Lutheran Centre

Our service targets mothers and youth undergoing drug rehabilitation. Through positive activities such as dessert making and bouldering, we help them express their feelings, rebuild trust between parents and children, and gain support.

Scavengers-Group 1 | Acknowledgment: Mission to New Arrivals Limited

We conducted a public survey to explore the feasibility of legal recycling spaces and citizens’ concerns. Results show that most people hold a neutral view toward scavengers in public areas and tend to support government provision of legal recycling spaces. We hope this study will spark reflection and discussion on balancing environmental, community, and scavengers’ needs in urban planning and sanitation enforcement.

Scavengers-Group 2 | Acknowledgment: Mission to New Arrivals Limited

We focus on social issues related to scavengers, analyzing differences, effectiveness, and limitations of public education with and without scavenger participation, and assessing its impact on reducing stigma. We believe greater attention should be given to this group to enhance public understanding and respect.

Oyster Reef Ecological Conservation-Group 1 | Service Partner: The Nature Conservancy (TNC) 🌟

This Service-Learning experience has deepened our understanding of conservation. In the past, ecological conservation was merely a distant concept from textbooks. But through hands-on immersion in the oyster industry, we have gained a more authentic and profound awareness of conservation. 💡We hope that environmental protection is not just an action—it’s a transformation in lifestyle and attitude. 💪
