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.
Virtual Overseas Volunteering (VOV)
Due to the Pandemic, this program is offered to:
Provide volunteering opportunities to serve overseas beneficiaries during the Covid-19 pandemic travel restriction period.
Enable overseas partner organisations to conduct or/and develop further the programs themselves after the engagement.
Act as a precursor for future actual overseas trip once the overseas travel restriction eases.
Types of Volunteer Programs
EXPERTEERING
Offering of services by volunteers with professional work experience whose skills and insights can make a catalytic impact in under-resourced communities.
Experteers may serve as a group, in pairs or as an
individual.
*Expert + Volunteering = Experteering
Service Learning (up to 80% of funding)
An approach to teaching and learning in which students use academic and civic knowledge and skills to address genuine
community needs.
Eco-Tour (Learning Journey)
Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and
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.
