The Kick-Off Ceremony of the Servant Leadership Training Programme (SLTP) was held on 11th Oct, 2016, with over 130 participants made up of students and representatives from partner organisations.

In its 2nd year of implementation, SLTP welcomes around 130 students to join its 6 service teams. Three of them are newly-established, namely Social Walkman, WebXplorer and Wise Walker. Each service team offers a unique platform for our students to serve the community at large.

To date, services offered by these new teams are:

- Social Walkman: students explore ethnic minorities through community studies and learning by action;
- WebXplorer: students serve as mentors to teach children from low income families how to use the internet and create a portfolio;
- Wise Walker: students provide guidance and mentoring for children of parents with visual/hearing impairment

Last year’s programme was a success. Subsequently, to further increase its membership, more than 50 participants from SLTP last year have been promoted to be senior servant leaders who will take part in another level of training and take a proactive role in coaching the new servant leaders.
