Youths
"You have shown what is possible when we come together with a shared vision and common purpose. You have touched lives and uplifted communities. Your drive, your passion and your commitment to serve show us what it means to be a strong and united people... Let us meet the challenges of our time with grit and gumption, and with faith in our fellow citizens. Let us work together to take Singapore Forward into a brighter future."— Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at Youth Corps Singapore's 10th Anniversary Carnival and Partners' Appreciation on 6 July 2024

The Red Box
Set in the heart of Orchard Road, The Red Box is a place for youths to congregate, exchange ideas and take action to make Singapore a better home for all. Here at The Red Box, we host a range of programmes to create deeper understanding of social issues and build social empathy. We use multiple modalities to engage youth which include simulations, workshops, film screenings, dialogues and much more!
