Youth Connect Centre
•

Spine. As WSC is the largest volunteering body in NTU, WSC
will be leading the centre.
•
Other volunteering clubs in the school may use the space as
well.
•
Suggestions include:
(1) Social Enterprise Initiatives
o
A store can be set up to sell items that are procured /
produced for the benefit of charities / student-led
community service programmes (this is akin to a physical
realisation of an e-commerce portal WSC is planning to
set up this academic year)
o
A café can be set up as a social enterprise by WSC or
an approved group to generate profits for social causes,
draw crowds to the centre, and create a lively atmosphere
for community project interactions/exchanges (similar to
the NYC café format at Somerset)
(2) Promotion of Community Service
o
Awareness booths, volunteer recruitment, community
project information and cause exhibitions can be set up at
the centre by WSC and other groups including external
organizations.
o
Discussion rooms / spaces can be made available for
student groups to discuss or work on community service
projects. These projects can be highlighted/updated at a
common area in the centre eg. the café to stir interest and
spark others in joining the projects.
(3) Canvassing Opportunities for Charity
o
A room can be set aside in the centre as a collection
point for the NTU community to drop off items for
donation / fundraising sales, of which proceeds can
benefit a charity or student group’s community project. An
administrator can be appointed to regulate this collection
and distribution.
•
Some Exco members will take up leadership for the centre.
12
•
Chairpersons may suggest alternative uses for the centre.
Booking of tutorial rooms
•
If any portfolio is unable to book any tutorial room, Yvonne will
send an email to Kelly to ask if she can help to book the tutorial
room.
