Title of entry: A Week of Impact: NTU Service Week 2022

About this entry: NTU University Advancement Office (UAO) organised a first-ever NTU Service Week (22 Jan – 29 Jan 2022) that galvanised the NTU community. It is one out of three flagship service projects for NTU’s inaugural We Belong campaign, an anchor event celebrating NTU’s 30th Anniversary by gathering the NTU family to make a difference to society.

The event mobilised students, alumni, faculty, staff to come together to collaborate with community partners to organise initiatives that serve the community, making a difference to the lives of the less privileged and the community-at-large both in Singapore and overseas, particularly where alumni were based, thereby influencing NTU’s wider community to give back to society through volunteerism.

In alignment with the NTU 2025 strategic plan that serves as the University’s roadmap to transform its education ecosystem, the NTU Service Week projects matched up to four causes – Digital Inclusion, Health and Wellbeing, Social Welfare, and Sustainability.
All engagement goals were tied to NTU’s 30th Anniversary and well exceeded. 587 volunteers participated in 63 service projects completing 3,343 volunteer hours. Funds raised to match this number of volunteer hours was S$5,000.
