VolTrekkers Service-learning Award and Training Scheme Service-learning is a pedagogy that combines academic curriculum with meaningful community services. VolTrekkers is a programme organised by SAO and supported by Hong Kong Shun Lung Yan Chak Foundation ( 香 港順龍仁澤基金會) aiming at providing solid service-learning experiences to our students and fostering them to become global citizens. Students can develop and implement their own service plans with the support and guidance of SAO.
Students who achieve the highest degree of impact on society and learning reflection will be eligible to join an overseas service-learning trip organised by SAO.
