Service Clubs - Mountain Service Club, Fishing Village Service Club, Rural Service Club (Figure 6)

Student service organizations held various learning activities during the academic year, such as event planning, drama skills training, team-building exercises, and outdoor games. During winter and summer breaks, they provided services in rural schools, offering recreational camps for local elementary students. Additionally, these clubs engaged in community services to connect with local initiatives. For example, the Mountain Service Club conducted street cleaning and mural painting, while the Rural Service Club hosted evening events, interacting with elders and children. Through these hands-on experiences, the participating students gained unique insights. After each activity, they engaged in discussions with their instructors. In 2023, seven service events were held, with 138 volunteers serving a total of 385 participants.
