Service Learning

Service-Learning 101

Our Service-Learning 101 is our foundation workshop where we immerse students in an experiential learning journey. In this learning journey, they will engage in:

• Tasks to experience what it is like to organise a service-learning project.


• Q&A sessions with various community partners


• Walk in the shoes of a lower income family, migrant/domestic worker and the “rough sleepers” 

This workshop covers the basics of what service-learning is. It is done virtually or through physical sessions where students are brought to the community ground for an impactful experience.

Local Service-Learning

The Local Service-Learning (LSL) arm reaches out to the underprivileged and the vulnerable in our community.

LSL serves as a platform for SP students to learn more about themselves and the community at large, developing themselves to have compassion and a heart for those in need through their service.

Students can initiate meaningful projects with Social Service Agencies or be involved in existing programmes organised by the Service-Learning CCA clubs.

Overseas Service-Learning

The Overseas Service-Learning (OSL) arm reaches out to overseas communities mainly within the ASEAN region.

Students are involved mostly in infrastructure building and practicing English with the locals. In the recent years, we saw an increase in students conducting empowering sessions with the local youths of their communities. The cultural exchange between the SP students and overseas communities provide excellent learning opportunities for both.

The Overseas Service-Learning is not complete without students engaging in a pre and post trip local service-learning projects in order to solidify their learning and overall experiences. Here are some of the recent participant’s reviews on their OSLs.

Youth Community Leaders

The Youth Community Leaders programme is a programme to develop student leaders with the knowledge and skills to serve the community. The programme consists of workshops, camps and mentorship by the club officers throughout the journey.

Through the Youth Community Leaders programme, students will be able to:

• Build empathy for the community
• Design impactful Service-Learning activities with partners
• Understand the community and the issues faced by them
• Apply structured critical reflection framework
• Lead peers in serving the community

The Youth Community Leaders Programme usually starts in January of every year and lasts for a few months.
