Social Service

The United College Social Service Award scheme was launched in September 2002 to promote voluntary service for the benefit of the community. The scheme is open to all United College students and assessment is on a yearly basis:

1. A Bronze Prize for 50 or more hours of voluntary service in one year;
2. A Silver Prize for 110 or more hours of voluntary service in two consecutive years;
3. A Gold Prize for 200 or more hours of voluntary service in three consecutive years.

Voluntary services in existing programmes organized by the College are included in the Scheme, such as social services undertaken by the United College Rotaract Club; United College Leadership Training Society and Service Learning Internship Programme.

The certificates and prizes will be awarded by the submission of service hours with your verified service hours record documents uploaded in the “Online Form“. (Submission Period: September to November every year) (Social Service Record Form)

The College Service Learning Programme Internship Programme (SLIP) is usually held during winter and summer holidays. It is designed for students who have a desire to serve others, and are interested in building relationship with the poor and the underprivileged community at the non-profit organizations in Asia. This is a great opportunity for students to integrate their classroom learning with real life experience through service.
