The YA is a school built for the 21st century that goes beyond traditional academics. It helps participants develop critical skills like public speaking, open collaboration, negotiation and creative thinking through:
- 4 weeks of virtual workshops in May 2025 led by experts and trailblazing Asians.
- 1-1 mentorship by the Young Asians 100, a group of local mentors including Princeton and Harvard undergrads, tech startup founders, community service leaders and published writers. Check some of the YA100 out in the attached Prospectus or our website.
- 3 tracks to choose from: STEM, Arts and Humanities, or Service Learning. Youths get to choose from these three tracks and work on an impact project where they get to decide what they want to work on. Complete freedom of choice. Of course, the YA Staff and Mentors will be there every step of the way to help guide you in your impact journey.
- Young Asians Summit: All fellows will be invited to the Summit (23 - 26 June 2025), a free 4D3N summit where you get to network with your cohort, learn from established leaders in industry and government, pitch to judges who can award your project funding, access exclusive tours to research institutes, companies and agencies, and engage in cultural immersion activities in Singapore.
The programme is sponsored by the globally recognised Emergent Ventures Fund. We are a Youth Corps Affiliate and are backed by the National Youth Council and Give Asia. As such, the Accelerator and Summit are fully funded for all Fellows, meaning there is no cost to you if you become a Young Asians Fellow. We want to ensure every bright and ambitious youth gets a chance to learn from the programme, regardless of their background.
