Waterways Watch Society
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
WWS (Waterways Watch Society) was formed in 1998 with a firm advocate of public education on water and environment awareness. Looking to build up individual responsibility and shared ownership of our water resources, they have established various programmes that engage corporations, schools, community groups and even government agencies. WWS was awarded the inaugural Presidential Environment Award in 2006 and the honorary WaterMark Award in July 2007.
💼 What the programme involves
volunteer will participate in one of the following:
• Hands-on beach clean up
• Bicycle patrol to understand how our water systems connect and the importance of valuing our environment
• Kayak river clean-up to learn about water environmental issues
Volunteer will be also helping out the society on the above and also a chance to learn more about environmental issues in Singapore (such as water conservation, littering). Project will be assigned to the volunteer depending on his skill sets
