Igniting youth’s passion for social work

JOHOR BARU: The RM500 incentive for youths to do volunteer work can entice more young people to get into social work and assist the underprivileged, especially those affected by disasters such as floods, says a non-governmental organisation.

Yayasan Kebajikan Suria Johor Baru founder James Ho said it is vital to train the next generation of social workers and the government’s RM500 incentive could be a draw for youth to get involved.
