Core Group Nurture under I·CARE Achievers Programme: Recruitment of Members

Chiefly funded by Tin Ka Ping Foundation, the I·CARE Achievers Programme is divided into two parts - "Value Exploration Series" and "Core Group Nurture".  While the former is open for all CUHK students and staff, the latter will serve 30 to 50 students a year.

This Centre is now recruiting participants of the "Core Group Nurture".  Accepted students are required to complete a number of stipulated tasks in order to attain fine quality for all-round development.

the programme and obtain corresponding I·CARE Achiever titles:

- Grand I·CARE Achiever

Upon graduation, all title awardees will each receive a certificate issued by the University.  A medal will also be presented to the awardees of the "Grand I·CARE Achiever".
