About SingYouth Hub
Established in 2008, SingYouth Hub is a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) registered under the Registry of
Societies on 17 February 2011 (UEN No: T11SS0032A) and MCYS COC with our charity status dated 12
Sept 2012.
SingYouth Hub aims to be a hub for nurturing and engaging Singaporean youths in community work. The
mission and core objectives are as follows:-
• to develop activities so as to engage the Singaporean youth in the process of thinking, planning,
marketing and execution of community projects;
• to set up an online resource centre for youths to initiate sustainable projects and programmes for
community and welfare organisations;
• to facilitate online volunteer matching;
• to develop and cultivate leadership and organisational capabilities of youths
Social Entrepreneurship – Theory and Practical Programme
Introduction
SingYouth Hub has developed a new initiative to nurture and engage Singaporean youths in community
work. This initiative comprises of both theoretical and practical components thereby providing a
comprehensive training programme for budding social change-makers.
Objectives
1. To inculcate social enterprise.
2. To engage youths in community work.
3. To create and promote awareness for various welfare organisations.
4. To increase social engagement and self-esteem of the primary beneficiaries.
5. To expose youths to the procedures and skill sets required for setting up welfare initiatives
Theory: Social Change-makers Training Programme
Introduction
Welfare initiatives are often planned by welfare organisations or volunteer groups. Student volunteers are
primarily involved only in the programme’s final execution. This diminishes ownership and therefore decrease
motivation for such initiatives in student volunteers. This also deters transference of important skill sets
associated with these initiatives.

Programme Details
SingYouth Hub strives to provide a high quality, structured platform to youths with dreams of being social
change-makers. SingYouth Hub aims to empower them to plan and execute effective social initiatives
through comprehensive training programmes and practical experiential learning. To this end, enriching
teaching curricula have been developed and can cater to various groups targeted under our programme.
They include youths from secondary schools, junior college, polytechnic, ITE and universities. Under our
programme, youth leaders will be developed to mentor fellow students in various self-initiated projects. In so
doing, the programme helps meet service shortfalls currently present in the education system, such as
empowering youths with the awareness and basic training in project management. These aspects will assist
youths in better managing their social-learning projects and equip them with key specialised skill sets.
Practical: Charity Pushcart Programme (since 2010)
Introduction
Welfare initiatives are often planned and executed by welfare organisations or volunteer groups
independently. Youths are often unexposed to the intricacies of the processes involved.
Programme Details
Charity Pushcart is a mentorship programme that aims to guide youths through the procedure of setting up
social welfare initiatives. The simple model of a fundraiser at a publicly located pushcart/booth has been
chosen to provide youths with the platform to acquire invaluable skill-sets. Selected youths will form a
committee and be guided by mentors with vast experience in the field, including representatives from
collaborating welfare organisations and social entrepreneurs, to set up charity events. In doing so, we
provide them with the necessary skills and required network to organise future welfare initiatives of their
choice.
Target no. of participants
25,000 participants (1 year)
Target no. of beneficiaries

Volunteers
A group of volunteers will be selected from schools. Targeted schools include secondary schools, junior
colleges and tertiary institutions. Selected volunteers will form a committee to assist the beneficiaries in
selling their products and/or promoting their services. Students go through products orientation at our
beneficiaries to gain a deeper understanding of their background and needs before embarking on the
programme.. The aim is to encourage students to volunteer and participate actively in the community, and to
help build up their confidence, responsibility, and to sharpen their financial and social entrepreneurial skills.
