Mission Statement
"Teacher Chang" service sponsored by the China Youth Corps (CYC) to help wayward juveniles in Taipei to find maturity and a better life. The Teacher Chang youth counseling center was established by the CYC on Nov. 11, 1969 to study the problems that face youths nationwide, and assist them to lead more fulfilling lives. CYC director Soong Shih-hsuan judged that the switch of the social infrastructure from an agricultural to an industrial and urban base would bring a conflict between old and new values, and cause tensions among youth at the most important stage of their development. The Teacher Chang service has expanded its counseling from indoors to outdoors, from the personal to the vocational and educational level, and from a passive role to an active one. Its workers have visited families, schools, factories, communities and other social units to find out the problems lurking in every corner of the city, and held panel discussions to attract public attention to youth problems through the mass media. In addition, a "Teacher Chang Home" has been set up in Taipei to enable youths who need temporary residence to escape from what might be an unhealthy environment. As a result of these efforts, "Teacher Chang" has become a symbol of love in society.
