ABOUT US

CampusImpact is a social service agency with IPC status. Since 2006, we have been working to prepare the next generation by helping them develop positive attitudes, pioneering spirits and purposeful lives. Our mission is to provide a holistic approach in character building for youths as they transit from childhood to adulthood, so that they will become useful citizens for the community and serve as pillars of strength for the nation. Our Vision is to prepare the new generation with:

A Positive attitude A Purposeful life A Pioneering spirit

The heart represents the positive attitude we hope to inculcate in young people. The symbol of the person (in red) represents our commitment to helping young people develop purposeful lives. Finally, the paper plane represents the pioneering spirit that we hope will help each one of our students soar to new heights.

3

Strategy CampusImpact has a 3-pronged approach of delivering services to families, parents and youths, because we understand the systemic factors that affect the development of young people. To effectively help young people, we will need to work with our partners and stakeholders to build strong families, persistent parents, and, resilient youths.

4

Core Values The 3 Ps (Positive Attitude, Purposeful Life and Pioneering Spirit) are values that we not only hope to develop in the students and families who come through our doors; volunteers, staff members and key leadership also espouse these values.

Positive Attitude We believe that the best outcomes are achieved when clients, staff members and volunteers adopt positive attitudes. This can-do mindset is something that we hope to not only inculcate in our young clients, it is also something we consciously adopt when we are faced with challenges in our work, creating a culture of resilience and joy in CampusImpact.

Purposeful Life At CampusImpact, there is no such thing as Monday blues because we know that each time we step into the centre, we are here to experience transformation and growth. Together with our beneficiaries, we seek to chart new paths forward so that each person can live their lives to the fullest.

Pioneering Spirit We are constantly learning at CampusImpact. One of the most important lessons a young person will take away from his or her time at CampusImpact is to not be afraid to try new things. The pioneering culture of CampusImpact has been one of the most critical factors contributing to our success and growth.

GRASSROOTS ADVISOR’S MESSAGE Campus Impact has played an increasingly important role in Nee Soon over the last few years. Some 120 children and youths spend their weekday afternoons and evenings in programmes run by Campus Impact. These programmes provide them with structure and supervision. This helps them lead healthy, social lives. Studies have shown that students who are left home alone for a significant amount of time often have more issues with behaviour, depression, and self-esteem. Campus Impact keeps many teenagers occupied, safe and engaged with their school work. What is less well known is that Campus Impact also supports parents through counselling. Adolescence can be a time of crisis for both teenagers and families. The counselling that Campus Impact does, helps parents understand their teenagers, diffuses conflict amongst children and their caregivers, and makes families stronger and more resilient. There is no price one can put on the societal value of such work. A few months ago, Executive Director Elysa Chen came to seek my support for Campus Impact’s expansion. Nee Soon grassroots leaders and government agencies have come together to help Campus Impact expand its

facilities at Block 151, Yishun Street 11 for their Room To Grow project. Campus Impact works closely with local partners to understand the people and issues on the ground. This allows them to be effective in helping families in the community. That’s activism benefitting people. Minister K Shanmugam

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE As the nation and the world fights through the Covid-19 virus outbreak, CampusImpact is thankful that we are able to continue to serve the community and our kids in these challenging times. I would like to use this opportunity to thank and remember our dedicated health workers and frontline workers who have sacrificed so much to keep us safe. At CampusImpact, we believe in coming together as a nation both in heart and in mind, and to teach our kids the sacrificial values that our heroes have shown us.

“Preparing the New Generation”. We are also excited about our new extension – Singapore Pools-CampusImpact Room To Grow – which will engage the community in a wider yet deeper way. We believe there are numerous opportunities to bring youth services to the community that can help them grow in personal capacity whilst strengthening core values. The next few years will continue to be marked by further disruptions in the way we work, learn and engage in the community, and that will affect Singapore in ways we do not yet fully comprehend. But we will continue push ahead to build what is the most important, our young people. To God be the Glory,

Over the years, we have ingrained the “Positive Attitudes – Purposeful Lives – David Yeo Pioneering Spirits” into the curriculum and Chairman, Campus Impact approach to learning for our beneficiaries. This has worked well for us since our early days as a social service agency serving the youths. We brought many “firsts” to our community such as Study Buddy and Learning Curve. Through the generous contributions and trust of our stakeholders and sponsors, we managed to raise more than $500,000 in 2019 alone to fund our programs and expansion plans which include deepening our values education by stronger programming and incorporating servicelearning into our programmes. In 2020, CampusImpact is working with Talent Trust to redefine our value position to the community – so that we are indeed

Study Buddy provides youths with a home away from home – a safe and conducive place to study under the guidance of a youth programme executive. On top of helping students with their homework every day, we also instil a love of reading in the students, helping students with poor literacy skills to acquire basic reading skills and develop a love for reading and learning. Students particularly look forward to the last hour of every day, a time when we run games and activities to equip the youths with everyday skills to become and instil values to help students build character and learn teamwork. Come by and check out what the students are doing on Musical Mondays, Thoughtful Tuesdays, Wild Wednesdays, Theatre Thursdays and Fabulous Fridays!

Project B.U.D Art Therapy Art therapy is an complement to our counselling services as we offer an alternative to clinical counselling. Project B.U.D. is a nonthreatening means to provide intervention for students from low-income and disadvantaged families (divorced, parents with chronic illnesses) to manage their emotions and behaviour as they go through tumultuous periods in their lives and process the trauma they have experienced. Students in our centre report suffering from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anger management issues, suicide ideation and stress. Through Project B.U.D, we will: • Address emotional and behavioural issues that children and youths face when they face difficulties at home and learn how to resolve conflict. • Provide students with an outlet for self-expression and space to process what they are going through by exploring their emotions, so that they can grow in self-awareness. • Spark creativity in students so that they can learn to tap on their resources for problem-solving, reducing their anxiety, increasing their sense of empowerment, and helping them to re-interpret their problems in a more positive light. • Allow students to accumulate positive emotions and increase their self-esteem • Develop interest in healthier hobbies • Increase resilience as students develop relationships with others who have experienced similar situations through group therapy. • Rebuild students’ social skills and improve their self-esteem as their relationships with others improve.

“When I heard that I was going to an art class every Thursday, I begged my father to allow me not to go for the class as I am bad at art, but to no avail. I had to go to the class. When it was the first lesson, I had butterflies in my stomach. But, when I heard that my friend, Javier, was in the class, I felt a bit more happy than before. I liked the first lesson as we learnt to make slime. I had never touched or made slime before. After the 8 lessons, I learnt that we cannot give up on our art pieces, and must be patient to do the art well. The most important thing that happened to me in this experience is that I learnt new values and created my own artwork. I would like to thank all the teachers who taught me during these 8 classes.” Donovan, 12 At 166cm tall, 12-year-old Donovan is our centre’s little giant. But it is not merely his height that has made him a remarkable young man, but his big heart for those who are smaller and weaker than he is. Through the sessions in Project B.U.D., Donovan built a friendship with Javier, 7, encouraging his little friend and taking good care of him as they did art together.

Evolve

Through Evolve, we reach out to students who are facing challenging circumstances in their lives and having difficulties with motivation in school. Through a weekly values-education programme, we discuss values and topics close to their heart, and steer the youths towards the right path by patiently journeying with them and weathering the storms of life with them. In 2019, there were 18 students and 1 mentor in the programme.

“At first, I wondered if I would get along with the students in the program as I have not been volunteering ever since my illness became worse. However, my passion is working with children and with the Evolve Programme at CampusImpact, there was a perfect fit. Through this programme, we discuss real life scenarios with the youths and help them discover ways to deal with them. The center also acts as a safe haven for the students after school hours. There are teachers, counsellors, and volunteers who are available to assist the students whether the students are facing relationship problems, homework or just need someone to talk to. The students need adults to listen to them and understand them without prejudice and Evolve is just the place for that. The teachers there are a passionate bunch, and their dedication shows that Evolve is not just another youth programme. The teachers have often shown patience and understanding beyond their duties. I am so confident of this programme that two of my children joined the programme, and my third child will also join them soon.” Mr Effendy Idris, a parent volunteer with Evolve

Hi! My name is Welson, a member of of the Evolve group. I am one of the very first to join the group. We started off with just three to four members, with Teacher Elysa as our mentor. She thought us different things about life and how we can overcome them. For example, we learnt about conflict, what causes people to have conflict with each other and how we should overcome such situations. Evolve is not all about learning but also having fun. We often have ice breakers at the start or share about our day and the challenges we are facing. Everyone will take turns to share their advice to help one another, and we grow bit by bit. Even though the results don’t come immediately, but it is noticeable . We faced a rough time when some of our members decided to leave the group, but as an Evolve member we believed that as long as we do what is right it will influence others to do the right things . Over time, more and more people joined us and now we have more than ten members in our group ready to serve and help those who need help and I’m proud to be part of the Evolve group. Welson, 17

Character Development Youth Programmes There is never a dull holiday at CampusImpact! Our holiday programmes provide opportunities for youths to use their leisure time constructively and meaningfully, helping them pick up important life skills and social skills to build healthier relationships with their peers. Youths can choose from a variety of activities, ranging from canoeing to ice-cream making. We also run regular workshops to provide youths with the knowledge and skills to increase their level of self-awareness, self-management and social skills.

13

SERVICES FOR PARENTS Parents Advisory Hotline The Parents Advisory Hotline provides free counselling services in English and Mandarin to parents. Through the hotline, CampusImpact helps parents resolve conflicts with their children and supports parents who are dealing with their children’s behavioural issues. We seek to resolve tensions between parents and their children, assist parents in dealing with rebellious children, and bridge the generation gap to foster deeper parent-child relationships. The hotline was started in 2009 and is manned by trained volunteers who are supervised by CampusImpact’s counsellor through regular case management discussions. Number of calls to the hotline in 2019: 143 Common presenting problems: Parents who need help managing their own emotions: 40% Troubling behaviour of children: 29% Difficulty in managing relationship with children: 15% Hotline number: 6555 7667 Mondays to Fridays 2pm – 4pm (Afternoon session) 7pm – 9pm (Evening session)

Parenting Initiative This programme provides parents with a networking group through which they can get community support in their parenting journey as they come together regularly through parenting talks, workshops, forums and even outings and activities. Through this, parents can get effective parenting skills and knowledge to strengthen and restore relationships in the family. Parenting talks and workshops are conducted in the centre and in various schools around Singapore throughout the year.

SERVICES FOR FAMILIES Family-Bonding Activities Forming bonds through shared experiences and pleasant memories is an important way of strengthening families and encouraging communication between parents and their children. These programmes provide families with the rare opportunity to bond and practise positive communication within the family through fun and interactive activities.

Counselling Services CampusImpact provides individualised face-to-face counselling for youths, parents and families to support them as they work through the various challenges of being a young person today, and to guide them in exploring their options through self-awareness and discovery. Through this service, we provide a space for youths and their parents to process the issues they face both individually and as a family.

DEEPENING ROOTS CAMPUSIMPACT BOARD

CampusImpact is run by a group of individuals called the Board, who are elected or appointed based on our constitution. The Board is collectively responsible to ensure compliance with the constitution and all relevant laws and regulations. The Board provides leadership and assumes responsibility for the stewardship of CampusImpact by ensuring adequate financial and human resources to provide services to meet CampusImpact’s objectives. The Board is committed to ensuring that high standards of corporate governance are implement and upheld by CampusImpact and is guided by the best practices as set out in the Code of Governance for Charities and Institutions of Public Character and the Charity Transparency Framework. The Board is accountable to our stakeholders, which include our clients, our partners, our donors, our staff and the community at large. Matters requiring board approval include the allocation of financial and human resources and the strategic direction of CampusImpact. The board also reviews the performance of staff in key management roles. The role of the Chairman and the Executive Director are kept separate for independence in their respective spheres of decision-making. In 2019, to provide better oversight, the board set up two committees: the audit committee and the human resources committee. In 2019, there were 6 board meetings. Board members render their service on a voluntary basis, thus, none of the board members received remuneration for their services.

POLICIES Funding sources CampusImpact is a non-profit organisation that reaches out to students from disadvantaged backgrounds and low-income families, many of whom require further subsidies on programme fees. Programmes in CampusImpact are largely run by volunteers, whose services either come cost-free or are given a small allowance. Our clients benefit from a business model established on the recovery of direct cost. CampusImpact is supported by donations and government grants.

Conflict of Interest Policy CampusImpact has put in place a conflict of interest policy to assist in identifying and managing potential areas of conflict. All board members, key management personnel, staff members and volunteers have to declare any situation of conflict that may arise. Board members and key management personnel do not vote and abstain from decision-making when conflicts of interest arise.

HR Policy Staff at CampusImpact undergo a yearly performance review, during which they are appraised. During this session, performance appraisals are done between the Executive Director and the staff members, and clear goals are set for their performance. Volunteer tutors receive performance feedback through classroom observations throughout the academic year, while volunteer hotline counsellors receive feedback through supervision by the head of counselling services. Salary increments and staff remuneration are recommended for approval by board of CampusImpact on a yearly basis.

Reserves Policy 
The reserves that we have set aside provide financial stability and the means for the development of our princaipal activity. We intend to build up our reserves to the equivalent of one year’s operating expenditure by end 2020. CampusImpact will raise funds to support our current and future services to reach more young people and their families up to a maximum of 2 years of our projected future gross operating expenses. Such funds do not include funds specified for restricted use. Establishing reserves ensures stability for CampusImpact and continuity in services to our beneficiaries. The amount of reserves required will be reviewed on a yearly basis by the board.

Loans, Donations, Grants and Financial Assistance Policy CampusImpact does not provide any loans, donations, grants or financial assistance to any parties.

LONG TERM PLANS As more children and youths come to CampusImpact, there has been an increasing need for creative space for selfdirected learning and experiential learning so that we can support our students’ holistic development. We envision a supportive environment with nurturing adults and a safe space for our clients who have suffered from trauma to transit back to the community through a gateway in which the community can also access CampusImpact’s services.

Volunteers

As CampusImpact has a very small staff, volunteers form the backbone of our organisation. Volunteers bring energy, passion and kindness to the organisation that is crucial to the successful implementation of our programmes. We thank each of our volunteers for giving so tirelessly by loving each student who comes through the doors of the centre and supporting our parents in their quest to lead their families. We couldn’t have done it without you!

“As a volunteer tutor in CampusImpact for the last two years, I have really enjoyed supporting the students. They often come up to me and tell me about what’s going on in their lives, and it’s a privilege to be able to mentor them.” -Felicia Teo, 21, Volunteer tutor

Donors Many of our volunteers not only give of their time, they also dig deep into their pockets to support CampusImpact’s work in reaching out to disadvantaged youths and needy families. Donations made to CampusImpact qualify for tax deduction as we are a registered Institution of Public Character. Your donation is greatly appreciated and will go a long way in supporting us as we impact lives.
