In order to provide diverse services more suitable for the youth, the Center hopes to stimulate the youth to participate in all kinds of group activities, nurture fine interpersonal relationships and leadership and collaboration capabilities. In addition, the Center also vows to help them to establish an appropriate outlook in life, provide the youth with opportunities to participate at the platform of community service, foster their social responsibilities, promote the philosophy of volunteer services, provide the youth and their parents new counselling knowledge, and establish youth counselling resources networks. Promoting all kinds of youth-related service programs. For example, in the “Youth Returns Home – Youth Participation in Community Service” event, social workers accompany students organizations to visit the communities. There was a musical organization who visited the community and taught the elderlies to play percussion; and there were students from Designing and Tourism Departments who visited the community to assist local industries, which included packaging design and planning tourism routes. And in the “Road 120 and Youth Leisure Plaza” service program, the Center provides the front plaza renovated with the new landscape for the youth and community students bands to perform, offering students in Southern Taiwan a space to publish and perform the music they have written and a platform for music exchanges. It also serves as a new leisure destination for everyone to visit on weekends or holidays. There are also many considerably meaningful youth cultivation service programs. For instance, the “University Organizations Carnival” is held every March, where more than 100 student organizations coming from Chiayi and south of Chiayi come together on Youth Day as they make new friends and share their organizations’ experiences. In addition, there are also “Study Tour in Kaohsiung,” “Rock n’ Roll Music Writing Festival,” international youth exchanges, as well as the “Greater Kaohsiung Youth Dreams Come True Fund,”, which provides funding for creative 24-years-old or younger youth as an encouragement for the youth to create and be courageous to actualize their dreams and hopefully they will also be encouraged to showcase their creativity and make positive impact to the society.
