Through this initiative, students will partner with local schools in low-income communities, aiming to create positive social impacts. Here, you can use your skills and passion for social impact to support our community partners and projects in the community. This could include working with children at local community schools delivering engaging conversational English workshops or inspiring the children on your passion for STEM or creative arts, to help broaden their learning and raise their aspirations for future opportunities. Additionally, your work could include supporting the schools themselves on a small renovation or infrastructure improvement project to create a better learning environment for the children.
