CMCA civic clubs – The heart of CMCA

A civic club is a group of students in each school, who join CMCA. A CMCA volunteer also called a civic tutor, is assigned to the club and interacts with the children on a weekly basis. Through experiential learning students are sensitised to democratic and civic issues that concern them as citizens. They then spread this awareness through campaigns and Acts of Active citizenship.
