Community Minded Youth Project

The Community-Minded Youth (CMY) project is part of the Scholarship and Student Loan Program launched in 2023. It is specifically designed for Kwah Dao scholarship and student loan recipients, who are required to become CMY members and participate in community service and development activities in remote areas of Northern Thailand.

Each year, students must work together to discuss, decide, plan, and carry out a relevant community development activity. These projects are supported by a reasonable budget provided by the organization and supervised by the Executive Director.

The CMY project offers students a valuable opportunity to develop creative and critical thinking, responsibility, leadership, and teamwork skills. It also fosters a sense of social responsibility by encouraging students to give back to the community. CMY members are responsible for every step of the process—from identifying a target community and designing an activity, to executing it under the guidance of a team leader they choose themselves—making the experience both interest-driven and personally meaningful.
