Be a catalyst of change and leave a meaningful impact on the world
Empowering Communities, Inspiring Change
For nearly a decade, we've been making our mark, engaging over 2,000 volunteers and positively impacting over 100,000 lives across Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Our Overseas Service-Learning (OSL) expeditions are aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on critical areas like Poverty Reduction (SDG 1), Zero Hunger (SGD 2) Quality Education
(SDG 4), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), and Climate Action (SDG 13). We're dedicated to contributing to a fairer, more sustainable world.
With partial grant support from Youth Corps Singapore (a division of the National Youth Council under the Youth Expedition Project Programme Funding grant), ECC is set to expand its service-learning expeditions from April 2024 to March 2025, reaching more countries, including China, India, the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia. These immersive trips, lasting at least 10 days, focus on making tangible social contributions such as providing access to education, introducing STEM education to school children, building sustainable infrastructure like clean water systems, offering food aid, and working alongside local communities on biodiversity and sustainability projects to promote self-sufficiency.

Be part of our mission to empower communities and spark transformative change.
Creating Real Impact Through Immersive Service
Our overseas service-learning expeditions, spanning a minimum of 10 days, offer an immersive experience for impactful change. You'll have the opportunity to forge deep connections with the communities you serve, creating memories and experiences that last a lifetime. This journey strikes the perfect balance between contributing meaningfully and reflecting on your personal growth.
​
More than just community service, our program is a transformative journey. You'll develop leadership skills, cultivate empathy, and gain a renewed sense of purpose. By the end of your expedition, you'll be equipped to drive positive change in your own communities and beyond.

​Being part of the ECC service learning programme showed me how such collaborative projects can lead to real positive change in communities. From redecorating playgrounds to teaching local children, every action was deeply appreciated by the local community and developed a strong kinship between us. I highly encourage students to join these once-in-a-lifetime self-development opportunities while making a tangible difference in the lives of others.

Participating in the Overseas Service Learning Expedition with ECC was truly a life-changing experience. It taught me the power of empathy and showed me how small actions can make a big difference in the lives of others. This journey not only connected me with communities in need but also helped me grow as a leader and a global citizen. I encourage all students to take part in such projects—it’s an opportunity to learn, grow, and give back to the community.
