Happy Youth Day! Conveying greetings from SPS Eric Chua to all youth workers out there! 🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️

Did you know that the percentage of NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) youths in Singapore aged 15 to 24 has risen from 3.7% to 4.1% between 2013 and 2023? These youths face significant challenges that can lead to social exclusion, low income, and a lack of essential skills. Fei Yue Community Services, with the support of the Youth Worker Association Singapore (YWAS), will host the inaugural Youth Outreach Conference (YOC) this year. This event brings together international speakers, local social service practitioners, educators, and policymakers for in-depth discussions on the challenges faced by NEET youths. Besides the opportunity to learn, converse and co-solution for our NEET youths, the Youth Work Day (YWD) 2024 Celebration will also be held in conjunction with the YOC.

🗓️ Date: 25 - 27 September 2024

📍 Venue: NUS Shaw Foundation Alumni House

Yes, you heard us right!
We had our fellow practitioners from MENDAKI Singapore share the different programs they have for our children and youths!
Great questions and personal sharing from everyone who was present today!
We look forward to having many more youth workers join us on this exciting journey.

The first session was highly enlightening, providing a strong start for our legal lab sessions. Hearing the concerns from the field and gaining alternative insights into how we can assist our youth was truly valuable. Looking forward to the forthcoming sessions.

As February 2024 closes, I've finally have some time to reminisce on one of my significant life chapters - my involvement with the Commonwealth Alliance of Youth Workers' Associations - CAYWA. My term as Vice-Chairperson (since 2018) formally ended at CAYWA's AGM held on 20th February 2024. I'm so grateful for all the friendships, collaborations, and engagements I've been privileged to have had. What a ride it has been, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic years! Congratulations and best wishes to the CAYWA Board for the 2024-2025 term! 😊 Work Association (Singapore)
