The program is divided into two parts, where K10 YouthCare 1.0 focuses on beach cleanliness, while K10 YouthCare 2.0 focuses on environmental cleanliness in the mangrove area and community well-being. As part of the effort in the 100 Million Trees Planting Campaign under the Malaysian Greening Program, students also participated in planting mangrove trees.

The MADANI Siswa Uplift Program @ K10 YouthCare 2.0 involves activities such as garbage cleanup and mangrove tree planting at Taman Mangrove Point, Port Klang, Selangor, with the participation of 80 students from College Ten (K10), UPM. A total of 100 mangrove saplings were successfully replanted through this program.

The program also includes a Forum: Ecotourism Sustainability, broadcasted live on the K10 UPM Youtube Channel, featuring panelists from the Department of Forestry and Biodiversity Sciences and the national leader for World Cleanup Day. The aim is to raise awareness about the importance of preserving eco-tourism and promoting tree planting and conservation.
