About the Good Citizen Family Volunteer Team

To strengthen civic and moral education, further promote social development, and encourage citizens to care for society and participate in community service, the 'Good Citizen Family' volunteer team was established in 2003. Starting with just 40 secondary school students, the team has since expanded to include university students and working professionals, with the current number of volunteers exceeding 130.

Volunteer Activities & Roles

Volunteers engage in a wide range of activities, including:

• Assisting and leading civic education activities.
• Writing scripts and performing for the 'Good Citizen Puppet Theater'.
• Participating in the editing and interviewing work for the 'Good Citizen Family Volunteer Newsletter'.
• Conducting civic education tours and promotional work from the new Civic Education Resource Centre base.
• Expanding community outreach through regular events like the 'Fun Civic Intelligence Station' in parks and recreational areas.
• Participating in the innovative community civic education campaign and volunteer service experience, 'Macau. We Care'.

Training & Development

To enhance volunteers' sense of mission, teamwork, and broaden their horizons, regular training activities are provided. The Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) organizes extensive training and visits, such as:

• Adventure activities and team-building exercises.
• Magic, balloon twisting, and communication skills workshops.
• Practical training for home visits.
• Educational trips to Ocean Park Hong Kong and Oxfam's Global Citizenship workshops.
