Members
2. Mission and Objectives
Outreach to members takes place on two levels; either at their workplaces or through specific interests. At the workplace, youths take on leadership and advocacy positions and help to look after the interests of their colleagues with the support of the Young NTUC national secretariat. For members who do not have unions at their workplaces, the Young NTUC secretariat helps to function as the surrogate for their activities and passions, equipping them with the necessary resources and skills to do well.
Young NTUC programmes are designed to do good by doing well and aim to achieve two objectives, engagement and visibility.
Engagement programmes are run entirely by activists. Over the years, Young NTUC activists have taken on volunteer projects with or raised funds for several elder care and children homes as well as animal concerns agencies and environmental advocates in Singapore.
