Youth & Family Services

Ankang Community is mostly made up of low-income families. Due to weak socioeconomic background, being cultural or ethnical minority, and diverse family structures (such as single parent, new immigrants, people with disabilities and so on), these families face more parental education difficulties and challenges, as well as high risk of domestic violence. These problems made their growing children and teenagers prone to deviant behaviors, and having low motivation in learning.

This project will integrate NCCU academic resources and manpower, including educational counselors, psychological counselors and social workers. By focusing on the Youth & Family Services aspect in Ankang Community, we explore its difficulties. By integrating courses, research and service capacity, we lead students to carry out social participation including youth education, accompanying and counseling youth, parental education and so on.
