CityU has designed several service-learning programmes for students to develop a positive attitude and service-driven mindset, including Community Engagement Programme, Servant Leadership Training Programme and Service Outreach Experience Programme. Through these service-learning platforms, students can contribute to the community with their academic knowledge and create positive changes to the needy. With various training and community service opportunities, students can enhance their soft skills and leadership competencies by serving different target groups and collaborating with fellow students from diverse disciplines to solve the real needs in the society.

CityU Community Engagement Programme (CEP) aims to bridge our students with the community and engage them in a variety of one-off and project-based extra-curricular service-learning experiences with different targeted service groups.
CEP provides a platform for students to identify the needs of the society, understand the challenges faced by the needy, enhance their soft skills including communication skills, responsibility and personal growth and reflect on how their learning from the social service experiences applies to their daily life.

CityU Service Outreach Experience Programme is established to encourage students to widen their horizons and gain global insights by participating in overseas community services, redefine their roles in a positive way, analyse senses from a wider perspective and reflect on their life purposes through service-learning experiences.
CityU has organised 3 service trips to Nepal since 2018, and led student participants to Lamjung for rural life experience and a variety of community services, including different learning experiences for local residents and post-earthquake reconstruction work.
Student participants developed suitable and interesting teaching materials with limited resources in the rural area, transferring their knowledge to local children.
Student participants followed local housewives to do typical housework, including farming, cooking and chopping firewood, to have a close observation and real experience of the rural life.
Student participants experienced a day of travelling across the mountains in order to teach in the “nearby” villages and feel the hardship of local children going to school every day.
