3. To provide support for programme preparation and execution – this involves assisting in the planning, logistics, and setup of activities; sourcing for materials and refreshments; coordinating with volunteers and staff; and helping to ensure smooth implementation and a positive experience for the seniors.

Learning Objectives and Outcomes:

1. To gain hands-on experience in designing and managing programmes that make a meaningful impact on the lives of seniors.
