S-LTA Program
Service-Learning Teaching Assistant Program (S-LTA) (2022-23)
Program Introduction
The S-LTA Program offers a unique opportunity for motivated students to develop their leadership and project management skills through coordinating various Service-Learning (S-L) projects in credit-bearing courses. It offers hands-on experience for S-LTAs to work with community partners and support fellow students to implement S-L projects that address universal challenges, such as poverty, environmental conservation, ageing issues and childcare development, and positively influence the lives of people.
The Program also offers extensive training on a wide range of skills and interdisciplinary workshops, which aims to equip S-LTAs with the skills of storytelling, project management, problem-solving, peer mentoring and design thinking, etc. Upon completion of the development program, S-LTAs will be well versed in how to implement projects that inspire peers to adopt innovative S-L and reflection approaches as well as being able to apply the transferrable skills in other future work settings.
