KNOWLEDGE Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) launched its volunteer program with the deployment of over 100 volunteers in Metro Manila. The volunteer management department was established to teach more and reach more communities nationwide through collaborative partnerships that will ensure greater efficiency in monitoring 2,000 public schools in 54 provinces provided with Knowledge Channel (KCh). It aims to form a group of 10,000 volunteers in the coming years.

In August, De La Salle University (DLSU) Manila through its Center for Social Concern and Action (COSCA) sent 80 student volunteers who conducted KCh usage monitoring visits to 56 Metro Manila public schools. Others participated in the program as game developers, graphic artists, information technology experts, instructional developers, production assistants, secretariat support, software developers, and ushers.
