Additionally, we aim to secure $155,000 in sponsorships for our key initiatives, such as Belanja @ Jurong Central and Project Journey With You.
Regarding our financial allocations, Our expenditures are primarily concentrated in our key Charitable programmes and activities. These encompass our Food Gift+ Programme, Partnership Programmes, and the Empowering Youth Fund (EYF). We anticipate a significant rise in the number of service users participating in the EYF programs, especially our Free Tuition and Meal & Transport Scheme.
In pursuit of continuous organizational development, we are embarking on a transformative journey. Our strategic focus lies in optimizing our Volunteer Management and EYF frameworks. These meaningful overhauls will enable us to effectively scale and serve our growing pool of dedicated volunteers and meet the evolving needs of our youth service users.
