City University of Hong Kong (CityU) Student Development Services (SDS) initiated the Servant Leadership Training Programme (SLTP) with the objective of developing a positive attitude and a service-driven mind-set in students. Participants received training in the core principles of servant leadership according to Robert Greenleaf that puts ‘others-first’ on everyday practice.  

SLTP provides a platform for them to develop planning, organizational and leadership skills in the service of others and to learn to work with teammates from various academic disciplines and collaborate with people from all walks of lives. 

Over 200 students are recruited every year and 6 service teams are formed to deliver services:  

1. Web Maker: Provides webpage design and production services for NGOs;

2. Wellness Transformer: Organizes fitness and wellness programmes for low-income children and disadvantaged groups;

3. Walkie Talker: Conducts cultural and eco tours for non-local students;

4.Social Walkman: Explores social issues through community studies and action learning;

5. Wise Walker: Provides guidance and mentoring for the children of visual/hearing impaired parents;

6.Food Friendster: Conducts life reviews with the elderly who are using food assistance service.
