Healthy Mind, Healthy Life @ 2:51 PM
Volunteer Management (VM) collaborated with the Singapore Association of Mental Health (SAMH) to set up an exhibition for three days in our school compound to spread awareness on mental wellness and illnesses to the NTU population. Besides having our own committee members to man the booth, we had the SAMH staff stationed at the booth to help answer any queries from the public.
Response to the exhibition was positive. The students and staff took some time to stop by the booth and browse at the collection of brochures and posters set up. Furthermore, many people returned to submit their completed “word search”, which was given to them when they walked past the booth. We also had people who stopped by the booth and enquired about mental health issues. Throughout the three days, we realized that the students were keen to know more about insomnia as well as anxiety management.
In addition, we helped to raise funds by selling paintings and other merchandises made by the SAMH clients.
Last but not least, it was heartening to know that some students expressed their interest in volunteering with SAMH. This aligns with our objective to promote volunteerism amongst the NTU population.
Volunteer Management would like to take this chance to thank SAMH for this collaboration project and making it a success.

about us
NTU WSC Volunteer Management
Welfare Services Club is a non-academic constituent club in NTU which provide an umbrella of voluntary activities and social work.
We consists of 3 committees, namely Regular Service Projects (RSPs), Special Projects (SPs), and Supporting Committees (SCs).
Volunteer Management (VM) is currently one of the Special Projects under WSC.
Volunteer Management organizes events to expose the students and staff population of NTU, who are not regular volunteers, to volunteering.
Every year, we will source for different beneficiaries which are those that we are not regularly helping out in. The events we organize differ yearly ranging from fund raisers to outings except for our annual 3 day camp for underprivileged children, Kids' World, in December.
Our events range from 1 day to 3 days for the beneficiaries and for every event we plan, we would need volunteers. Hence, this provides an avenue for students and staff who are unfamiliar with or are unable to volunteer regularly to be able to learn more about volunteering.
VM serves to act as a bridge which links the beneficiaries to a larger population and to potential regular volunteers.
We hope more volunteers like YOU will join our BIG family! :)
