OUR PEOPLE IN ACTION

HOW TO JOIN THE CLUB? 

Yes. Prospective volunteers will be interviewed to assess their suitability and alignment to the club’s vision and project requirements

However, we do grant everyone an equal opportunity to join SMU Ember, as a Member or as a part of the Sub-Committee. Even if you have no prior experience in community service or leadership, we will be more than happy to accept you. What matters is your heart to serve and ability to commit!

"I would like to enrich my university experience by dedicating some of my time in giving back to the community. I have had positive experiences engaging with the elderly through arts activities during my years in polytechnic and I am excited to start volunteering again! I miss the interactions and would like to take this opportunity to brush up on my dialect skills again. (:"

No. If you sign up for one project, you will be committed to its activities for the rest of the period. This will strengthen the relationships between our volunteers and the beneficiaries through more consistent interaction rather than constantly rotating. However, after the completion of this project, you are free to sign up for subsequent projects!

When you join us in our projects, you will be equipped with a variety of soft and technical skills. Soft skills include effective communication, adaptability, and problem-solving.
