Celebrating wide-ranging volunteerism in digital safety, sustainability, and social health

From helping seniors learn how to post on Instagram and be mindful of cyber safety, to upcycling unwanted garments and donating food to needy households and charities, the OneNTU community is giving back to society in the spirit of volunteerism.

As part of NTU Service Week, NTU students, alumni, faculty and have joined forces with community partners to volunteer in social service initiatives centred on the areas of digital inclusion, health and wellbeing, social welfare, and sustainability.

Many of the 91 total projects are led by NTU alumni associations here and abroad. Over 900 volunteers have already contributed more than 5,800 hours of community service through 65 completed volunteering initiatives, with an outreach exceeding 4,600 beneficiaries from various community groups in Singapore and overseas.

Guest-of-honour Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Ms Grace Fu, who launched Service Week today, also witnessed NTU’s commitment to become a Champion under the Green Nation Pledge.

Service Week is one of three flagship events of the University’s We Belong campaign, a community outreach movement first launched last year as part of NTU’s 30^th anniversary celebrations.
