Learn what it’s like to work at an NGO and work as a team to contribute to positive social change. CCE is a Summer Program open to our students from various fields that allows them to apply theory to practice.

The Campus Community Engagement (CCE) Summer Program offers undergraduate students service-learning opportunities with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) involved in providing clinical, health, environmental, and social care to needy individuals. Through the CCE program, students from various schools will work in multidisciplinary teams on projects that benefit NGOs. In doing so, students strengthen their graduate and professional capabilities while contributing to positive social change - a mutually beneficial arrangement.
The program provides students with an opportunity to gain a unique off-campus learning experience. Students gain exposure to what these organisations do, why they need to do so, and how they serve individuals, families and communities. This community-centred approach will also allow students to experience elements of planning and developing research on issues that matter at the grassroots level.

The next intake, CCE 2026, will begin on 27th November 2026, with a few workshops to prepare students to work in teams and with NGOs. Students will then be placed with NGOs from 1st December 2026 to 31st December 2027.
Essentially, nothing! No additional fees apply.
Quick note: You are only expected to cover your own expenses of commuting to and from the NGO centres.
As this is a non-credit bearing unit, you will not receive a grade for your work during the program. However, in order to successfully complete the program, you will undertake a few reflective writing exercises, a group project and a final presentation (an oral and poster) to a symposium of stakeholders. You will work on these tasks together with an appointed academic advisor.
No it is not. This is an extra-curricular program. At the end of the program, students will receive a certificate of participation.
