THE YOUTH ALLIANCE :)

The Youth Alliance is a vibrant society where youths are equipped, enriched and touched to in turn reach out to equip, enrich and touch others.
TYA is the youngest club amongst all community service CCAs in Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
The committee of The Youth Alliance firmly believes in the potential of the youths of today. We work around our motto of, “Equipping lives, enriching minds, touching hearts.” Ghandi once said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” The Youth Alliance hopes to spread this message to the youths of Singapore. Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “We cannot prepare the future for our youths, but we can prepare our youths for the future.” The youths of today will be the future of Singapore. What we make out of them, will determine what they will make out of the future, and The Youth Alliance hopes to contribute to the future of our nation through inspiring the youths today.
With a current membership of about 175 Ngee Ann Polytechnic students, TYA serves as a nucleus to congregate young people from Secondary Schools in Singapore and provide opportunities for them in three fundamental areas:
1. Development
The Youth Alliance supports the youth in Singapore, by providing them with information, advice and a wide range of community projects, we organize camps and courses to help the youths of today bond and socialize, undergo leadership training, character development and provide opportunities to upgrade themselves.
2. Opportunity
We work directly with young people from various Secondary Schools to create new opportunities, innovating and delivering projects in partnership with community service/youth clubs at our outstanding outdoor activity and training facilities. We also serve as mentors to secondary school students who have community service projects they want to carry out.
3. Voice
The Youth Alliance advocates on behalf of our members, so that the daily experience of on-the-ground practitioners informs the thinking of our nation’s leaders, policy makers and other community stake holders.
With many upcoming camps and events, The Youth Alliance is excited to see much advancement in this relatively young CCA. We hope to bring the joy of helping others to the youths of Singapore. Quoting Aesop, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” The daring spirit in youths can be put to good use. What they need is an example, and example has more followers than reason. TYA intends to be that example and going beyond that, we intend to not only be the example but provide opportunities for youths to follow the example.
