OUR VISION

OUR MISSION

Creating opportunities for all Singaporean youth to be heard, be empowered, and be the change.

• Be Heard - Creating space for youth to share views and ideas with peers, government agencies etc, to build civic capacity and to close the loop
• Be Empowered - Equipping youth with access to resources, networks and developmental opportunities in order to meet needs at individual life stages
• Be The Change - Providing a platform for youth to connect with like-minded youth and other government agencies, take action through structure programmes (e.g. Youth Action Challenge) and digital mechanisms, and for youth to contribute back to the community

OUR ROLES

NYC was set up by the Singapore Government on 1 November 1989 as the national co-ordinating body for youth affairs in Singapore and the focal point of international youth affairs.

On 1 January 2015, NYC began its operations as an autonomous agency under the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) and housed two key institutions:  Outward Bound Singapore (OBS) and Youth Corps Singapore. Together, the agency will drive youth development and broaden outreach to young Singaporeans and youth sector organisations.
