C4RE PATH aims to cultivate a consistent, confident and compassionate pool of volunteers who can form meaningful relationships with the residents while developing their professional skillsets.

By the end of the one year pilot period, we aim to recruit at least 40 student volunteers from the six local universities, with at least 80% attending three or more sessions and 60% committing for the full year (at least 10 sessions). This will be measured through completed administrative forms, attendance record and reflection entries. Additionally, we aim for at least 60% of volunteers to report achieving their personal development goals as reflected in end-of-program survey which includes self-competency survey, and qualitative feedback from the volunteers.

By the end of the gamified experience, the initiative seeks to foster sustained volunteer engagement through tasks that build empathy, leadership, and communication. It also aims to encourage meaningful reflection via self-assessment challenges and digital badges tied to soft skills, while evaluating the model’s potential for broader application across future SMU projects and external collaborations.
