At the beginning of the new academic year, we believe you are keen on having a fulfilling and meaningful university life, making new friends and applying your classroom learning to contribute to the society in addition to working hard in your academic study.

SAO has established the “Me&U Community Caring Programme” for this purpose. Through partnering with different NGOs and external organisations, 3 service teams were initiated under the programme to unleash students' potentials and help contribute their knowledge by serving various vulnerable groups. We also encourage students' community engagement, nurture their positive personality traits and bring positive impact to the community. Apart from a series of training and services, students are required to draw the plan and execute their empowerment projects to facilitate their learning about specific social issues.

If you want to know a group of students who are dedicated to serving the community in the coming year and explore different social issues together, you are welcome to join us!
