Saphan Siang Community Outreach (SSCO) programme promotes aims to promote a long-term attitudinal and behavioural change impact in the society. The programme was initially designed as a subsequent activity of the Youth Ambassador programme. In the past two years, Youth Ambassadors submitted various proposals to request financial and technical support in their continued endeavours after the completion of their volunteer placements (see example below)

SSCO has since been extended to general public including young people who are interested in migrant worker issues. We encourage the public to submit project ideas with the goal of promoting better understanding between Thais and migrant community. More detail
