Launch of our Youth Festival @ South East

What an incredible turnout! Over two epic days, participants discovered amazing opportunities in careers, money matters, and living their best life at Singapore Expo Hall 4A.


What Participants Experienced:

We helped attendees unlock their potential, boost their confidence, and make moves towards their dreams through three dynamic interactive zones.

Career Zone: Whether participants were recent graduates, career changers, or simply looking to level up their professional game, we had everything they needed under one roof. Attendees connected directly with employers at our youth-focused job fair, expanded their professional networks through dedicated networking sessions, and received personalised guidance from our career coaches. Many learned to optimise their LinkedIn profiles in our hands-on workshops, discovered new skills through our upskilling sessions, and booked one-to-one career advisory sessions for tailored advice that fitted their unique goals. It was fantastic to see so many people taking charge of their futures!

Youth Having Fun at the Youth Festival in March 2026

Lifestyle Zone: Participants prioritised their wellbeing through our comprehensive workshops on stress, burnout, and sleep management designed specifically for working individuals, and many took advantage of confidential one-to-one mental health screenings to support their mental wellness journeys. Attendees got their bodies moving with energising BodyCombat sessions and relaxing yoga classes that left them feeling refreshed and revitalised. Many discovered how to live more sustainably through our engaging food sustainability workshop, learning to make eco-friendly choices, and explored conscious fashion at our fashion sustainability workshop. Participants connected with local community services at booths from South East Youth Ambassadors (SE-YA) and People's Association Youth Movement (PAYM), discovering ongoing support and programmes in their areas. It was wonderful to see people investing in healthier, more sustainable lifestyles whilst building connections with like-minded individuals!

Hands on activities at our workshop!

Finance Zone: Whether participants were just starting their careers or looking to make smarter money decisions, this dedicated zone offered everything they needed to build financial confidence. Attendees explored exciting opportunities at booths from leading organisations including POSB, Housing Development Board, Institute of Financial Literacy, and MoneyOwl, where they discovered career paths in finance and learned about essential services like housing schemes and investment options. Many enhanced their financial knowledge through expert-led workshops by DBS and the Institute of Financial Literacy, covering everything from budgeting basics to investment strategies. Participants connected with industry professionals, gained valuable financial skills, and took control of their financial wellbeing!


The Results: Participants successfully connected with career opportunities, mastered their finances, prioritised their wellbeing, and figured out their next moves. It was inspiring to see so many people turn their aspirations into action over these two incredible days!
