About the Programme
The REACH Youth Ambassadors programme was launched in 2008, involving 70 youths from 14 schools as a pilot. Launched by Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, the programme aims to encourage youths to reach out and promote a feedback culture among their peers and had garnered warm support from participating schools during the pilot phase. The programme has been expanded in 2010 to involve more than 140 youth ambassadors from 24 schools, including tertiary institutions. View the list of participating schools!
Role of a REACH Youth Ambassador
Besides helping to promote the feedback culture amongst their peers, our youth ambassadors will have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the Government's policy-making process and create a positive impact on the type of Singapore they wish to live in.
Through interaction with their peers and policy-makers during the programme, the programme aims to enhance their interpersonal, communication and leadership skills. There will be unique opportunities for the youth ambassadors to be involved in national/international projects and REACH activities to engage the community.
REACH's Youth Engagement Handbook: Youths Engage!
A joint publication by REACH and the pioneer youth ambassadors, Youths Engage! commemorates the successful pilot run of the Youth Ambassador programme and provides a reference tool for the new batch of youth ambassadors. Get an e-copy of the REACH's Youth Engagement Handbook [PDF:4.90MB] !
