On the 23rd February 2023, we held our second program of Reduce Crime Together Project with AseZ. The RCT project will now be held at one of our refugee beneficiary, MON Refugee School. A total of 24 participants attended this second program on ‘Autonomous Choice and Responsibility, Self-Control over One’s Behaviour’.
This session focused on how the participants can make their autonomous choice by participating in a class meeting activity. As a result, 74% of participants understands how to apply types of self-control behaviour in their day-to-day life such as being calm and patient. Furthermore, the participants were able to further develop their skills in teamwork (75%) and how to manage their emotions (58%). Overall, the participants were happy and had fun with the program and we are pleased with the outcome of the program conducted by AseZ.
Our first collaborative effort with AseZ in support of their Reduce Crime Together Project kicked off to a good start! We got 30 participants of refugee students from three different refugee beneficiaries, MON, GHALC and Rainbow of Love school to attend the first program on ‘Understanding My Various Characters’. All the participants came with high spirits to learn the key elements to build a good character development. As a result, 80% of participants understands ways to develop their own self-identity.
Moreover, the 62% of participants felt their self-confidence boosted from doing team activities with their new peers from different schools. Also, AseZ provided the opportunity to show the participants on various Korean Culture Activities which they were extremely excited to try. Among the participants, they enjoyed playing YutNori and Jae Gi Cha Gi as it enabled them to build their team building skills. Overall, the students were happy with program and we are pleased with the outcome of the program conducted by AseZ.
Taylor’s Community is supporting AseZ in a one-year collaborative effort to spread Reduce Crime Together Project. This project is an initiative by AseZ team to promote a global crime prevention campaign that focuses on the happiness of human beings. We will be conducting a program each month with one of our refugee beneficiary, MON Refugee School. Where they will have the opportunity to learn an eclectic mix of knowledge and skills from practical activities to boost their character development, as well as, to change the people around them.
When employees are willing to spend their time and energy in volunteering to give back to the community, it means they are eager to contribute their skillset & energy to the sustainability of community building
However, training and development initiatives are crucial in maintaining the quality of the volunteer. Especially when volunteering really matters to your organization and its vision in community building.
We have our very own iconic Effective Employee Volunteering Training Program that aims to train new & existing volunteers towards effective & sustainable contributions towards the cause they are keen on. Moreover, it aims to provide a methodology for assessing the quality and satisfaction of the volunteering journey.
We had a great 2-day on the 3rd and 4th of December 2022 at Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus where we had our Effective Employee Volunteering Training Program attended by 23 awesome volunteers from the Prudence Foundation, called PRU HUG Program. PRU HUG Program, short for Prudence Foundation Helps You to Grow focused to scale up the volunteering experience of each volunteer for a sustainable change for themselves and the community to work with. This is to ensure their volunteers are led by purpose and impact driven in their volunteering journey and continuously improving themselves while uplifting the communities. This training also aimed to train PRU volunteers to take up leadership roles in volunteering and focuses on self-actualization (mental health benefit to the volunteers).
During the Day 1 training session, they were brought back to reflect on their calling, the roles they played in their daily life, and how they stay true to their calling. They also learned about setting up their goal in volunteering as well as creating a program with impact in mind as the end goal and how it will be able to create a bigger impact on the community. At the end of Day 1, all 4 groups successfully created a program to be executed on Day 2 for a group of refugee children.
On Day 2, the participants continued to learn about leadership roles and qualities through an interactive and fun game. They also learned basic coaching skills that would be beneficial in their leadership journey and while they are interacting with their beneficiary. The day continued with each group of volunteers executing the program that they planned during Day 1. They had an exciting 2-hour session with 15 refugee children from a refugee learning center. At the end of the day, the children shared their experiences throughout the 2-hour session they spent with the volunteers. It was heartwarming to witness the happiness and appreciation shared by the children for the opportunity they had on the day.
This 2-day experiential training program on becoming a transformational volunteer has developed participants’ skills and sparked their passion further to play bigger & meaningful roles in volunteering as well as a leader. Participants had direct impact creation opportunities for a group of beneficiaries during the training session.

An Employee Volunteering Project (EVP) was held yesterday at Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. 7 Taylorians from various departments and 15 students from GHALC school came together in unity for an impactful cause. The EVP aimed at bridging the gap between the employees of Taylor’s Education Group and the underserved communities.
In conjunction with Malaysia’s 65th Independence Day, Taylor’s Community organized a soap making workshop (cooking oil based) led by our very own Program Keusahawanan (PK)’s Alumni – Kak Hana Sarinah from PPR Lembah Subang. The soap created by the students and Taylorians will be available for pre-order and open to the public to purchase. GHALC school’s main challenge is a lack of utensils and tools to initiate any science related experiments, therefore, so all proceeds will be used to purchase science equipment for the school.
If you are interested in supporting this cause and interested in purchasing the soaps made from yesterday’s workshop, fill this form ( https://lnkd.in/gq7e-pyN )
