Concern over the environment is growing in Malaysia and so is GEC. We are now expanding our organisation by establishing a Volunteer Programme. Through this programme, we not only hope to become more efficient as an organisation, but we hope to engage you, as young adults, to be more actively involved in environmental conservation and develop your skills and character.
The Programme
The GEC Volunteer Programme is unlike any other. Here, we aren’t just looking for your help, but we want to nurture your skills and help you develop yourselves further through our programme.
It is a platform for young adults who are genuinely concerned for the environment, and who have skills and are willing to contribute their time and effort for environmental conservation. In return, volunteers will gain opportunities to learn, discover, experience and share their lives with others and the environment.
Short-term Objectives
To engage in work that is beneficial to the environment and community
Long-term Objectives
To grow to be a self-sustaining entity
To engage people of all ages in environmental conservation
