We Serve Learn & Change
Established in 2005, CYEP is a NON-CREDIT BEARING service-learning project. We open to all students at City University of Hong Kong. Our mission is to serve the underprivileged or special needs groups in the community. We hope to enhance students' understanding of social issues and active civic commitment, to effectively engage community-based groups and community organizations with the students through the university's platform, and to integrate community practice-oriented knowledge with the academic field. With over 30 community organization partnerships, CYEP provides ongoing services for underprivileged children and youth affected by poverty, new arrival status, minor crime, and disabilities; ongoing services for the hidden elderly and mental health consumers; and ongoing services related to environmental protection and disability rights. As part of the transformative pedagogical experience, students also actively participate in the research process, focused on the effective convergent outcomes of students, communities, and academic institution.
