Al-Khayrat Volunteer Team
Team Name: Al-Khayrat Al-Warith Volunteer TeamDate of Establishment: The team was officially established in the year 2024. Team Membership: The number of active members within the team is fluid, subject to increase or decrease in accordance with admissions and voluntary withdrawals. Member Selection Criteria: Membership is exclusively available to university students. Candidates are selected or approved by the team founder (team director) upon meeting a set of predefined standards. These include a record of good conduct, a genuine willingness to assist others, and the completion of an orientation detailing the nature of the team’s responsibilities. Membership is finalised upon submission of a comprehensive information and commitment form. Withdrawal Mechanism: Withdrawal may occur voluntarily or through dismissal issued by the team’s monitoring committee, composed of the team’s founder and a group of senior and highly active members. Dismissal typically results from violations of the team’s guiding principles. Sustained Member Engagement: Continuity in member participation is achieved through the intellectual, administrative, and interpersonal development of members. Motivation is cultivated by awarding letters of appreciation issued by the university presidency or the team director. In parallel, a culture of inclusive teamwork and familial bonding among members is fostered to ensure long-term engagement. These elements collectively support the advancement of lifelong learning and civic responsibility. Purpose of Establishing the Al-Khayrat Al-Warith Team To harness and redirect youth potential toward meaningful societal service. To promote and normalise a culture of altruism within the broader community. To contribute to the formation of a productive, socially responsible university generation. To actively work toward the reduction of economic hardship among vulnerable groups. To strengthen the values of compassion and solidarity in the social fabric.

Supporting Entities The team is an entirely independent, student-led initiative supported morally and financially by the university alone. Financial resources are sourced from donors both within and outside the university.

This model ensures the team remains rooted in principles of transparency, accountability, and community ownership.
