Goducate, with its mission of helping young adults in China to help themselves, has opened a second Lifepegs student activity center in southern China. The new center is located in one of the city’s major campus districts with a student population of 60,000 to 70,000 from 8 universities.
The core team of 3 native workers trained by Goducate worked hard to renovate and get the center started within 28 days. They were supported by volunteers in the city who had longed for such a set-up where they could get opportunities to acquire lifeskills and an education that goes far beyond their university or their individual abilities.
The new center is geared towards providing members with essential lifeskills education, unique opportunities for healthy relationships, and new and exciting modes of recreation. Most of all, it aims to position itself as the “Ultimate Choice for Outdoor Activities”, like none other!
Whether it is a basketball tournament, rock-wall climbing, a workshop on leadership or financial management, a mountain hiking adventure or a trip to scenic places for camping, each activity is meant to teach a lifeskill as well as provide some new and exciting experiences whilst participants get to know each other and find a lasting and enthusiastic group of friends.
The new center also hopes to invite members to take part in a leadership training program that evaluates the development of their leadership skills and presents them with opportunities to lead activities. Some of these trained leaders who believe in the philosophy of the student activity centers may be involved in the expansion plan in other parts of China.
