About Us
With the concept of "Monkey See, Monkey Do", Project Monkey X started off as a social experiment to spread good practices across the nation by portraying excellent role modelling. Our founder and volunteers believe in the power of action by common people and the magnitude of change that can happen. With that in mind, we made our first presence on media on January 2016 and kick started our very first project the same month. We soon evolved to become a public volunteering group, accepting individuals who share our dream of a better world.
VISION
Building nations through individuals with strong personality and traits.
We define individuals with strong personality and traits as individuals who are empowered to use their strengths and skills in order to help improve their community. In short, our aim is empowerment.

Tools
In order to achieve our vision, we use three different tools.
1. INITIATING. By being vanguards and kickstarting projects in our community, we hope to make volunteerism a norm in Malaysia.
2. MENTORING. Through our Idea List, we mentor individuals who are in need of support in carrying out their own project.
3. DIRECTING. Through collaboration with other volunteering groups across Malaysia, we hope to be able to direct individuals to a cause that they are passionate about and the voluntary organisations working in that area.

OUR CORE VALUES
Project Monkey X stands on four pillars that we refer to as our Core Values. These values became the reason behind our birth, are embedded into our volunteers and what we hope to share with the rest of the world.
OWNERSHIP
Saying "This is MY home" is different than living those words. Here at Project Monkey X, we take ownership of our home. We not only hold ourself accountable for the ongoings on our own land but also internationally because ultimately, we share the same planet. Age and status is not a factor for us to not take action. We believe that the job to take care of our community lies not on the shoulder of leaders alone but on each one of our shoulders as well.
EMPATHY
Our projects are all planned to serve a bigger purpose other than ourselves, aimed to affect those around us in particular. None of our volunteers, part time or full time, get any reward or benefit from the work that we do yet the standards and hopes that we have set for ourselves to achieve is uncompromising. The only motivation we get is the thought of how we can affect other people to live more productive, fulfilling and harmonious lives.
PROACTIVE
All humans will ultimately take action to bring forth desired changes. The only separation is WHEN they take action. Some take action either to prevent a disaster or to cause a preferred outcome while others wait for something undesirable to happen before being forced to change. At Project Monkey X, we strive to be proactive and be the front liners to action when needed.
INTEGRITY
A word is just a word until you mean what you say. We believe that the only way to actually create change is to BE the change. We take our values and vision very seriously and this is translated in our projects. All of our projects require people to act a certain way in their everyday lives and not just within a specific time line. Although we too are humans and imperfect, we strive to be role models in our own society and community.
