We are a student-led initiative which collaborate with a number of not-for-profit/non-governmental organisations (NGO) to offer opportunities for Monash students to volunteer and serve the community and the underprivileged.
It’s a chance for you to pick up new skills, develop yourself, meet new people and improve lives!
For Semester 1 2021, due to the limitations caused by the pandemic, all volunteering sessions will be conducted online. Hence, have been limited to educational and teaching volunteering.
HOPE Worldwide – Providing assistance in the revision and teaching of underprivileged children and teens in Mathematics and English. Fluency in Bahasa Malaysia is preferred if teaching Mathematics.
UNHCR Manna House – Teach refugee children basic subjects such as English, Maths and Science.
Trinity Community Children Home – Help the children with their homework, teach a variety of subjects, as well as to staff. Fluency in Bahasa Malaysia is preferred.
