The National Youth Council aims to develop a vibrant, highly-connected and self-sustaining youth sector so as to nurture World-Ready Youth.
The Youth Expedition Project (YEP) has been a success since its inception in 2000, enabling over 9,000 youths to participate in about 400 community projects overseas. In early 2005, after the tsunami disaster, YEP also supported about 600 youths, spread over 50 teams, to assist in the rebuilding efforts in affected countries.
By participating in overseas projects, our youths gain a better appreciation of their life in Singapore and an increased social consciousness.
After the consultation with various stakeholders, the future direction for YEP is to encourage youths to see YEP not as a one-off project overseas, but a sustained activity with contributions to the Singapore community. More ground-up initiatives from youth and for the youth sector are encouraged and NYC will support a network of partners to share expertise and experience.
