Objective

To build leadership skills while serving the needs of the community. The Gold Level participant can embark on the initiative individually or in small groups.

This component challenges participants to take on leadership roles in their own community service projects. Participants are to identify a need in our community and through the understanding of cultural differences, find solutions to contribute effectively to bring about a positive outcome.

Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their leadership skills as they work in partnership with people from various backgrounds to undertake a community project that will not only broaden their horizons but also trains them into culturally sensitive, service-oriented, and holistic leaders.

The newly remodelled section hopes to see more student/youth-initiated activities that bring positive and meaningful contributions to the community, be it on the national or international level.

*Duration is dependent on the project.

Community Leadership Initiative (Only for NYAA Gold Award)

Participants are required to take on leadership roles through their own initiated projects, working with people from various backgrounds and creating solutions for specific issues to assist the national or international community. No project is too small or too big. 

Some of the examples are:

• Sports-related projects
• Community-related projects
• Environmental-related projects
• Youth/Children-related projects
• Elderly-related projects
• Persons with Disabilities-related projects
• Animal-related projects
• Projects involving Overseas Beneficiaries/Organisations

The above list is not exhaustive. Participants can consider other activities that are not listed above. Participants may engage in these activities individually or in small groups. There is no minimum duration as each project has different timelines.
