Youth
for Community Activism Symposium (YCAS)
is an inaugural symposium organised by the Hwa Chong Institution

of the tenets and applications of Service-Learning (S-L) to
formulating feasible solutions to real community problems
in four key community sectors. Over

a thorough understanding of Service-Learning, interact with
representatives from governmental and non-governmental organisations
of their allocated community sector, visit locations around
Singapore relevant to their sector, identify the problems
faced by their sector and eventually formulate feasible solutions
to tackle them.
