About the Young Change Makers

The Young Change Makers (YCM) is a grant scheme aimed to promote and inculcate a strong sense of community involvement among youths in the society. Inaugurated in 2005, this scheme aims to empower youths on two levels.

1. Empowering youths as decision makers as they organise events on their own, under the guidance of a YCM mentor.
2. Foster youth development and leadership.

This scheme provides funding for youth groups to organise their own events to raise funds for their chosen beneficiaries. While youths are given the autonomy to decide on the nature of their events and the execution of it, it also promotes a sense of ownership among youths to their project and gives them greater sense of responsibility in the society.

For more information about the Young Change Makers and how you can make a difference, visit their official website at http://www.changemakers.youth.sg/

Prologue: Word from the crew

2007-10-03T17:24:00.000-07:00

We are 5 weeks to the event, but 1 week to the launch of publicity. This is only getting better! =)

hey folks! Welcome to Forca 2007, a charity sports carnival organised by a group of youths coming together to assist Pertapis Childrens' Home. This entry is a lil' sneak peek of our efforts thus far.

So last Friday, September 28th, the committee visited the kids from PCH to spend some time and break our fast with the kids. It's been long since we last saw them, given our own individual tight schedules. And not to mention, the committee is working very hard to make this Project: Forca a great one.

When we were there, we were reminded once again of our primary objective to have this fundraiser for them. Realising the need for more programmes for the nurture and development of these children, the Forca committee hopes to materialise our visions and aspirations for these kids.

You just gotta be there to know what we mean.

So ANYWAY! The carnival is drawing closer in a month time! It will be on the 11th November, at the central Bishan Park. Expect loads of great activities! Touch rugby and Street netball matches going on throughout the day, and carnival sales with loads of exciting items on sale! Not to mention, an energetic crowd, and of course, your enthusiastic, lively bunch of hosts (US!)

So be sure anticipate our publicity launch yo!
