About Us

By setting up a documentary area in our Youth Centres, the Commission for Youth and Sports (Youth Section) is pursuing its mission of empowering young people by providing them access to reliable knowledge information. Young people are willing to do research, to work and to create. Therefore, there is an imperative need to provide them with what they require so that they can do their job.

Compared to traditional training where courses are conducted by a Resource person, a documentation area will provide the young people with more detail and does not have redundancy. And with rapid access to internet, the young people could have access to information at the moment of need.

The documentation area in the Youth Centres can also be the support materials during and after training. It will provide reference materials namely for the young people who had followed courses namely in Entrepreneurship and Creative Industries.
