Volunteer Facilitators needed for iTELP 2017

Founded since 2012, Mind Alignment Centre (MAC) continues to empower young people to create transformational opportunities for themselves and others.

Young people from different schools and families would learn social innovation, develop problem-solving skills and engage in service learning projects at various community sites.

Through deep dive into readings, simulations, project-based learning and Human Centred Design lectures delivered by skilled and certified facilitators, TELPians would develop life skills and competencies to use their initiatives to solve real life problems and generate ideas for shared prosperity.
