Pencerahan Selangor
A mission-driven programme bringing structured reading, discussion, and writing to secondary students across Selangor. Explore the two roles below, then register your interest — we'll email you a link to submit your resume.
Program Associate
About the role
The Program Associate is a full-time field role at the heart of the programme's delivery. Associates are embedded in a network of secondary schools across Selangor, visiting assigned schools on weekdays to lead structured intellectual sessions, guide students through a writing development process, and build the consistent, trust-based relationships that make sustained learning possible. It's designed for early-career graduates who are intellectually curious, disciplined, and motivated to contribute to youth development — and who want to grow as practitioners and writers over the programme year.
What you'll do
- Visit four assigned schools on a rotating weekday schedule, leading reading and discussion sessions with a group of students at each.
- Read all five programme texts in full and act as a reading guide — giving context and helping students navigate complex material.
- Deliver a structured writing programme across multiple cycles: issue prompts, support drafting, and submit detailed written feedback on the platform.
- Identify the strongest student pieces each cycle and nominate them for further coaching by the programme's writing specialists.
- Attend a year-long series of sessions with distinguished Malaysian leaders and thinkers, and bring that learning back to students.
- Produce your own written pieces in Bahasa Melayu or English, supported by the programme's writing coaches.
- Log all sessions, attendance, and student feedback accurately on the programme platform.
What we're looking for
- Strong command of both Bahasa Melayu and English — spoken and written — and comfort facilitating and giving feedback in either.
- Confident leading group discussions with secondary students; patient and consistent in building trust.
- Genuinely curious — reads widely, engages seriously with ideas, and is honest about what they don't yet know.
- Disciplined, self-directed, organised and reliable across multiple schools without day-to-day supervision.
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline. Fresh graduates and those early in their careers are strongly encouraged to apply.
