On Saturdays, the volunteers run a variety of activities for some 500 children at 24 clubs including Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bukit Merah, Clementi, Geylang Bahru, Hougang, Marine Parade, Mountbatten, Queenstown, Serangoon, Tampines, Woodlands and Yishun (for full listing of clubs' details, please click here). Our weekly programme consists of academic coaching (English and Mathematics), values-driven activities and year-round family bonding events. Some of the children who were in the pioneer programme some 25 years ago have returned to the club as volunteers to mentor the younger ones.
