Agents for Change - Recruitment for ChangeMakers!


28 October 2011
To: NUS Faculty, Staff Members and Students

Have you ever returned from an overseas community service trip, feeling like you want to do more? Are you interested in making a more sustainable and impactful difference to a rural community? If yes, come join Agents for Change and be a ChangeMaker today!

Agents for Change (AFC) is now looking for passionate Singaporean youths to embark on a programme that will culminate in the implementation of a project based on your idea. This programme is a tie-up among several overseas NGOs and Avelife- a local socio-environment non-profit organization. During the programme, constant mentorship and training by experienced professionals will be provided.

The pilot run of AFC aims to bring together 10 Singaporean youths with 10 youths from other Asian countries. Each pair will use a seed funding of S$1,500 to develop and implement one eco-humanitarian related project in the Asian youth's home country. Our dream is to create 10 sustainable projects at the very end of two years in the different communities, and to develop youth leaders who aspire to make a difference.
