About SingYouth Hub

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.
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.
Operation Hours
10am – 9pm
In 2016, our programme had exended to product development by empowering our youth to
be more creative and hands on. To achieve our goal, SingYouth Hub had collaborated with
OneKM mall to acquire 2 units of shop space to sell the artifacts and run regular handicraft
workshop for the VWOs.

Introduction of The Craftpreneurs of SG
There are many Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs) that gives opportunities to its beneficiary to create
handicrafts as a form of engaging them, make them self-reliant. Some of these handicrafts are viable to be
sold to the public in an effort to raise funds for the organization itself. Unfortunately, these VWOs lack the
time, space and expertise to sell such handicrafts to the public other than at their own premise, which might
be located far away from human traffic.
Similarly, there are certain individuals that value such unique handicrafts or some who are willing to support
VWOs in purchasing such artifacts but are unable to locate them. Hence there exists a gap of available
unique handicrafts for sale and people willing to purchase such handicrafts. SingYouth Hub plans to fill in this
gap by creating a one-stop shop that acts as the middleman in selling the unique handicrafts handmade by
the beneficiaries of the various VWOs to the public willing to purchase the handicrafts. In order to achieve
our objectives, SingYouth Hub will collaborate with One KM Mall in having a shop front that displays the
handicrafts for the public to view and purchase of what they desire. This initiative would be opened up as a
store called The Craftpreneurs of SG.
Main beneficiary: ComChest
Partnering VWOs: Friends of the Disabled Society, Lion Befrienders Service Association, Metta Welfare
Association, Cat Welfare Society, Presbyterian Community Services Singapore, Cerebral Palsy Alliance
Singapore etc.
Please find Annex B for our first pilot programme.
