Tzu Ching
The Tzu Chi Collegiate Association (慈濟大專青年聯誼會) is the Foundation's youth organization. With chapters at universities worldwide, it allows university students (known as "Tzu Ching 慈青") to be involved with Tzu Chi's work in their own communities and internationally. Many Tzu Ching volunteers are given the opportunity to participate in large scale events such as international disaster relieves and international NGO conferences as such the annual UN Youth Assembly. The founder Master Cheng Yen encouraged the Tzu Ching volunteers to actively communicate with each other to learn and improve. Each year an international Tzu Ching officer training retreat camp is held in Hualien, Taiwan, the origin of the foundation. Tzu Chings from all over the world would fly over to Taiwan to participate this end of year event. It is usually held around Christmas time to cope with the winter vacation in most of the western countries.
