REACH Youth Ambassadors Programme
In February 2008, REACH, or reaching out for active citizenry @ home, set out to bring on board a bunch of active, enthusiastic and inspirational youths to become our first ever REACH Youth Ambassadors (YAs). Their mission: to serve as engagement leaders to their peers.
Our search then yielded the pioneer group of 70 young ladies and gentlemen from 14 schools who were game enough to take up the challenge of this unique appointment.
In June 2010, a second batch of 146 students from 24 schools continued the journey blazed by the pioneer group. Being their ever- innovative and resourceful selves, fun was had in the planning and executing of various projects. Let our event photos tell you more!
