SMU Uni-Y

"I feel that Uni-Y is a very meaningful CCA that is really able to make a difference to focused groups. I have always wanted to give back to the society, so i think Uni-Y is a great place for me to start from."

" I was involved in many community projects back in JC and secondary school and I want a platform for me to continue that in Uni. Uni-Y offers variety and targets different groups. I like how it has diversity in the volunteer programmes, extending our reach to various groups in society. I want to be part of such a CCA that allows me to contribute in many ways as well as allows me to understand different issues and standpoints from different social groups."

" Uni-Y has long-running credible programmes that I am able to participate in. I've always wanted to give back to the society via mentoring/tutoring/working with children but never really had the right resources/connections to. In addition, recently, Uni-Y had been having a lot of welfare/initiatives in the previous semester for SMU students which I have come to appreciate. I would love to be a part of the family that also spreads happiness and kindness to the school body (despite the fact that not every SMU is under Uni-Y )."

"Coming into uni I have always wanted to join a CCA that can allow me to help the community while at the same time, forge new connections with people who care about the same issues in the community as me. I was looking for something along the line of tutoring or teaching as I enjoy those activities more when I chanced across Uni-Y. Seeing that Uni-Y is a quad-uni CCA, I believe there would be more interesting collaborations and wider variety when it comes to programmes and events, hence my interest."

" I really enjoyed my previous volunteering experience (local and overseas) and therefore, I would like to carry forward this passion of mine to university. Not only do I get to help others, I also get to learn more about myself. I also would like to meet like-minded people and make more friends. :D Besides that, seeing that 2020 has been extremely hard on certain groups of people, I would like to extend a helping hand to them and alleviate their burdens in any way possible."

Hu Meilan
SOSS: Year 1

" I think it is very meaningful to spend my free time helping others in need and I would love to be a part of this community with other like-minded individuals. There's always a lot of joy to give back to the community, adding purpose to my University life. I volunteered my time with a tutoring group during the Covid-19 Circuit Breaker period to help those who do not have access to tuition, and I really wanted to continue that cause in University. Uni-Y gives me the opportunity to do just that and so much more :~)"

" Being passionate to serve, Uni-Y is a great platform for me to give back to society. As a subcommittee member for Y Craft It, I was able to interact with people outside of my social circle who came from different backgrounds and knowing that they have enjoyed what me and my other subcommittee members have planned solidified my decision to continue to serve the community again."

SOSS: Year 2

" I love to volunteer because I love seeing the smiles on the faces of the people whom I help. It unconsciously brings a smile to my face too. AddItionally, I believe that I would be able to forge more friendships and would be able to gain more than what I give to others through the programmes. I would like to be able to join Uni-Y to have the opportunity to give back to the society and help others around me. "

" I think that Uni-Y is a good avenue that provides many opportunities for me to give back to the community and help those in need. In addition to serving the community, I hope to inspire others to do so as well, thereby making our society more caring and cohesive. I believe that it is important to ensure social cohesion because after all, the true measure of society is how it treats its most vulnerable members. I have participated in several community service projects like tutoring financially disadvantaged students as well as organizing a science workshop for students at a learning centre. I enjoyed these processes a lot, and would like to take part in more of such meaningful activities."

" I really enjoy volunteering as it gives me a sense of accomplishment and I really enjoy seeing the smile on the beneficiaries. I am interested in joining Uni-Y as I really enjoy participating in Y Food of Love. My CCA in poly had organised Y Food of Love before and I enjoyed the event a lot, and would love to sign up again if given the opportunity to join."
