RICI PROJECTS
Mind Growth Program
The program recruits university student volunteers who are passionate about public welfare and demonstrate strong capabilities. By providing funding, course packages, and training, the program equips volunteers with foundational knowledge in child development and psychology, as well as practical skills to conduct psychological activity classes. Volunteers are then supported in organizing summer camps focused on mental resilience in rural areas, helping rural children enhance their psychological resilience and addressing the gap in mental health education in these regions.
Magic Mind Academy
This program empowers rural teachers by providing psychological knowledge, course materials, and comprehensive teaching support. It equips teachers to deliver mental health courses to children and adolescents aged 6–16 during the school term. The aim is to enhance students’ psychological resilience, emotional management, and interpersonal skills, ensuring every child feels loved and supported while growing into confident, joyful, compassionate, and wise individuals.
Wise Heart Scholarship Program
This initiative focuses on helping children from impoverished areas complete their compulsory education through middle school and pursue studies in high school or vocational schools. In addition to financial assistance, the program employs diverse psychological interventions to help students develop good habits, rebuild self-confidence, integrate into school life, and contribute to society. It also provides opportunities and platforms for public engagement and personal growth, ensuring that both recipients and donors benefit through meaningful interactions.
Flourishing Minds Initiative

By utilizing innovative design-thinking tools, it develops products tailored to the real-life needs of young people. Through effective peer-to-peer support mechanisms, the program helps prevent anxiety and depression, empowering youth to adopt a resilient and relaxed attitude toward life.
