Our Youth Group recently had an interview with Omy.sg . 会馆也可以很年轻！会馆给一般人的印象是属于较年长人士聚集的地方，但是新加坡鹤山会馆就试图颠覆这样的观念，在一年前设立了青年团，吸引更多年轻人参与会馆的活动。他们甚至开设了双语博客网站，并在YouTube上载了会馆和青年团的活动录像，借助多媒体的力量，把中华文化继续传承下去。成立时，青年团只有4名团员。现任青年团副主任何振华（21岁）和其他3名团员当初就向周边的朋友介绍了会馆的青年团，想说服他们改变对会馆的刻板印象。现在青年团的成员已增加至17名。振华说："因为新加坡已西方化了，传统也开始流逝，年轻一代的人对于传统文化比较没有兴趣，所以愿意加入的人不多。"因此，他们就在两个月前，决定设立网站，让会馆迈入e时代，以年轻人熟悉的网络平台和他们接触。振华解释，拥有双语版的网站，
