NEW opportunities - updated as @ 16 June 2010

1.  Befrienders for our youth online counseling portal (eC2)

Do you have the passion to work with youth over the online medium? If so, we WANT you!  
Immediate openings for volunteer recruitment for eC2 now!

What is eC2?

eC2 is an online counseling facility that’s hosted on eGen.sg , an online blogging community for youths and young adults in Singapore. As a volunteer, you will be able to chat online with troubled youths directly on their issues to provide support and give advice.

Through this medium, youths are more ready to talk and share their problems anonymously. We hope to give youths a platform where they can access help without bearing a certain "stigma" of approaching a counselor face to face.

What will volunteers do?

Volunteers take on the role of a befriender to youths who come online to seek help. This includes providing support, encouragement, and giving relevant advice. The befriending takes place in a chatroom similar to MSN, whereby volunteers chat with youths.

What kind of volunteers do we need?

We’ll commence the service by volunteers in November 2010.
If you are interested, please email admin@egen.sg by 15 July 2010 or call 6787 1125 today.
