Each month, the Intercultural Center will facilitate hands-on initiatives that address community needs while fostering deeper understanding of social responsibility. Through active participation, individuals not only contribute to the well-being of others but also develop leadership skills, build empathy, and strengthen their sense of purpose through civic engagement. This program underscores the educational value of service by connecting participants to broader community contexts and demonstrating the lasting impact of collective action.
