Dear Student,
YMCA Youth has opened signups for youths who are keen to make a positive different to a cause they are passionate in. As part of the programme, selected submissions will be provided with seed funding, mentorship and training to turn their ideas to reality.
Projects under this are considered as student-initiated Service-learning projects under LEAPS 2.0.
Details below,
YMCA Youth For Causes 2024
Up to 100 teams will be provided with seeding funding, mentorship, and training so that the teams can effectively raise awareness and funds for the social cause of their choice.
About YFC
The YMCA Youth For Causes programme provides an excellent platform in nurturing a generation of thoughtful and proactive changemakers. Teams will collaborate closely with their chosen Social Service Agency (SSA), mentor and volunteers to address societal challenges. In addition to raising awareness and funds, we encourage teams to unleash their creativity and problem-solving skills, bringing forth innovative solutions to enhance SSA services.
