Project Catalyst
(Impact Volunteering Program)
Project Catalyst provides opportunities for individuals, groups and organizations to serve disadvantaged communities through capacity building and service learning programs.
“Being part of the ECC service learning programme was ommunities face, and showed me how such collaborative projects can lead to real positive change in communities. From redecorating their playgrounds to teaching local children, every action was deeply appreciated by the local community and developed a strong kinship between us. I have grown personally by the insights gleaned and the friendships forged and I highly encourage students to join these once-in-a lifetime self-development opportunities while making a tangible difference in the lives of others.”

Eco-Tour (Learning Journey)

involves interpretation and education. It is designed more as a learning "journey" than a "service" learning program, although it may include some volunteer service activities.
