SERVICE-LEARNING CHAMPION (SLC)

The PAYM Service Learning Champion (SLC) programme was started in 2006 to instil important life skills in our youths, prepare them to be contributing members to our society, and become our leaders for tomorrow.

Details

Students will be going through physical or online courses conducted by professional trainers to equip them with important skills before embarking on their Service Learning journey. Guided by experienced PAYM Youth Leaders, students will gain a deeper understanding of the community they live in. Thereafter, students can plan and execute service learning projects, including online programming to benefit those who need help and address real community needs.

Three people gathered around a red table playing a mancala board game indoors at a busy event.

Students taught participants how to play different traditional games such as congkak, five stones and Chinese chess.

Teenagers help an elderly woman throw a ball at stacked cans on a red-covered table at an indoor event.

Participants knock down cans with ping pong balls, testing their hand-eye coordination and dexterity.

The Service-Learning Champion Programme enabled our students to link up with beneficiaries and events in the constituency, allowing them to plan for activities and address real needs of the communities. Students also received constructive feedback from Limbang Youth Network which was valuable in helping them learn how to adapt and solve problems.
