Student Programs


In 2017, we started student programs with the goal to create young leaders and volunteers who not only promote service and volunteerism in schools and universities, but also might one day fill the role of Operation Smile Philippines staff, volunteer, or supporter.

As a student, how can I help?

There are two many ways to get involved as a student:

  1. To lead social media, symposiums, conferences, petitions, and promotions around the need for free and safe surgeries that repair cleft lip and palate.

  2. To successfully create, fundraise and execute crowdsourcing projects for cleft programs.

At our core, we believe in empowering the youth to create positive, global change. If you want to strengthen your leadership skills, listen to inspiring guest speakers, or complete a community service project on an Operation Smile Philippines mission, we would love to get you involved.
