Connect for Change 2023 - Global Service Day

Register for a service here 

Social issues such as poverty, health, education, equalities and climate change have been amplified after the pandemic. While the society is recovering from the crisis, many of us have lost the sense of community amidst virtual life. We need to rebuild connections with the community more than ever.

HKUST Connect is bringing back the Global Service Day this year in Connect for Change as a joint effort of all University members to engage with the community. Coinciding with Global Youth Service Day, students, staff and alumni will fan out into the community in April to engage in various community service opportunities and together connect for change.

Create a culture of contribution - Instill a heart for service in the entire university population – staff, students and alumni.
Work together for the common good - Mobilize the entire campus to join hands in something meaningful and memorable, making a mark as a university not just by displaying academic excellence, but also unity in diversity.
Build human connections - Gather individuals inside and outside the campus again for a shared positive experience after COVID that would pave way for building lasting relationships in the future.

Our volunteers will tell you that it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive.
