Youtheme Concept

From its inception in April 2007, Youtheme Online has defined its business objectives and milestones as follows:

• A youth portal created to accomodate youth aspiration, expression, actualization, and to promote youth creativity
• Provides youth aged 15 - 24 with online resources, personal support, and information to assist with the development of their technology and life skills, and provide online tutoring, linkage to personal mentors, monitored chat rooms, email, course-specific educational resources, and up-to-date relevant information; such as extra-curricular activities, access to financial scholarships, special interest groups, etc. All these activities are carried out using portal-like access to other youth services
• The project involves the building of the e-Community for youth to facilitate the co-ordination and integration of programs, services, and activities geared towards youth development, while recommending and designing programs to enhance and propel youth development in Malaysia and the neighboring regions
• The project aims to support enhanced interaction between all schools, stakeholders including school administrators, teachers, parents, and students
• The project also seeks to link up schools in district/region to each other, to the internet, and eventually to other national networks under ONE SINGLE PLATFORM because technology and connectivity can create an exciting learning environment; in which the participants can master educational basics, while learning skills that prepare them for the future
  
• Primary functions of this community - Program design & development, Program co-ordination & monitoring, information dissemination.
