About the ASEAN Youth Fellowship
AYF is organised by the National Youth Council (NYC) in partnership with the Singapore International Foundation (SIF), and powered by the Singapore-ASEAN Youth Fund. Since its inception in 2018, more than 200 outstanding young leaders have become proud alumni of AYF.
The programme aims to:
1. Provide a platform for leadership development for outstanding young leaders in ASEAN;
2. Foster a strong network among young leaders across the 3P (public, private and people) sectors; and
3. Expose young leaders in ASEAN to opportunities in the region.
Profile of ASEAN Youth Fellows
The ASEAN Youth Fellows are young ASEAN leaders and influencers from diverse sectors. Many of them are also actively involved in the community, above and beyond their professional responsibilities.
Candidates are nominated through various partner organisations that work closely with NYC and SIF on diverse areas including youth leadership development and regional cooperation, or apply through an open call.
Upon successful completion of the programme, the AYF Fellows are committed to:
- Forge stronger ties and closer partnerships among the Fellowship;
- Expand and strengthen the connectivity among the youths of ASEAN;
- Enhance youth development; and
- Endeavour towards greater social impact.
