Youth Engagement

The Youth Engagement team within NYC oversees programmes aimed at offering youths a safe space to voice their views, learn about different perspectives, and discuss concerns while sharing aspirations with their peers, civil society, and the Government.

Last updated 4 September 2025

Our Programmes

Through a series of offline and online engagements, youths are brought together from different backgrounds to hear from one another. By cultivating an openness to diverse views with a culture of understanding and consensus building, youth engagements set the motion for youths to play an important role in building a caring and cohesive Singapore.
