Sustainable Singapore Youth Leadership Programme 2024

Synopsis

The Sustainable Singapore Youth Leadership Programme encourages social entrepreneurship and the development of community leadership skills in youths in Singapore. Exploring the theme of Environment and Sustainability, youths can sign up by forming groups of three to five members and will be challenged to develop and execute project ideas
that address the sub-themes of sustainable living, energy reset, and/or city in nature.

To assist in the development of these project ideas, The Global Citizen Academy (TGCA) will provide a mentorship through bootcamps and regular check-ins throughout the development of the project, equipping groups with the tools to act, and providing them with the platform to receive guidance and feedback regarding their project ideas.

At the end of this initiative, we intend to showcase featured projects, on the 16th of November 2024, how they have accomplished the objectives of the sub-themes and the impact they have had on their targeted community.
