Virtual Post Return Orientation YES 2020

On the 19 th of April 2020, YES Alumni Mas Committee conducted a Virtual PRO session on introduction to YES Alumni for the YES’ 20 students. Due to being quarantined, we had a zoom session with all 40 students from YES’ 20 joined by the YES Alumni’s committee members and 3 MAAP committee members which are Nabila, Jonathan and Shirleen. Both organizations came up with slides to be presented to the returnees. The objective of this session was to give YES’ 20 an insight of alumni opportunity and some simple steps of how they can start volunteering with the alumni. We also gathered questions that they had from previous sessions about volunteering and linked it into our presentation to make it easier to cover all their curiosity.
