Youthbank

Youthbank banking on YOUths!

The Youthbank online community was designed to grow the spirit of volunteerism amongst youths in Singapore. Youthbank does this by facilitating the value engagement of youths in Singapore towards owning and benefiting their community with active volunteerism.

Youthbank was initiated by Heartware Network and its 1st phase was powered by Microsoft Singapore with technical support from ITE College Central, Nanyang Polytechnic and AKSAAS Pte Ltd (a spin-off company from A*STAR's Exploit Technologies).

Youthbank was launched in May 2006 by Minister George Yeo. Since its launch, more than 14,000 youths have signed up as volunteers. In total, they have successfully completed about 233,460 volunteer hours.

With Maybank's sponsorship, Youthbank was renamed 'Youthbank by Maybank' from 4 December 2007. By sponsoring Youthbank, Maybank is helping to build scalable infrastructure to engage youths and facilitate volunteerism in Singapore. Moving ahead, with its newly revamped features, Youthbank aspires to be a platform whereby young volunteer leaders may network with other youths in Singapore to connect with them and engage them in meaningful community service. These young volunteer leaders are volunteers who are assisting Heartware Network in planning, organising and executing its various community projects.
