3. Programs Committee
The Literacy Development Sub-Committee determines the strategy and directions of the Buddy Reading, My Story Creation and Code + Create Program. The Youth Development Sub-Committee promotes and supervises the Power Your Future, Youth Summit and Young Entrepreneurs programs.
4. Staff Engagement Committee
While the day-to-day management and operations of the organisation are delegated to the management, staff and volunteers, the Board remains responsible for ensuring that the organisation is well-managed and operating within agreed codes of conduct, policies and the law. The Committee therefore establishes codes of conduct, policies and practices for the recruitment and treatment of staff at all stages of engagement. It is also important for staff to have direct access to the Board on a confidential basis in relation to his/her well-being within the organisation or any concerns or issues that the staff may have in relation to the organisation itself. The Committee also serves as a confidential channel for staff to reach out to the Board for such purposes.
