HISTORY OF WSC

Founded in 1985, the Welfare Services Club (WSC) is a non-academic constituent club in NTU which provides an umbrella of voluntary activities and social work to all students. Besides growing from strength to strength in membership, the WSC has also undergone incredible expansions in its activities to reach out to more service users every year. Currently, it runs 9 Regular Service Projects (RSPs) serving the Deaf, Elderly, Children of Low-income Families, Children with Chronic or Terminal Diseases, Persons with Intellectual Disabilities, Persons with Mental Health Issues, Persons who are Phsically Challenged, Persons with Visual Impairment and Youths-at-risk. Our volunteers actively engage these service users weekly at various locations.

WSC also runs 5 Special Projects and 5 Supporting Committees. The Special Projects include Camp OutReach, Challenge ur Limits, Ignite Change, Overseas Volunteering Expedition and Volunteer Movement and they provide additional support to service users both locally and overseas. The Supporting Committees include Admin & Liason, Finance, Growth & Opportunities!, Internal Relations and Publicity and Publications and they provide operational support to WSC. Volunteers engaged in Special Projects and Supporting Committees gain invaluable skills in entrepreneurship, events management, planning, coordination and many more.
