The National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) is an exciting self-development programme available to all young people in Singapore, equipping them with life skills to make a difference to themselves, their communities and their world. The NYAA is part of an international Award Programme operating in more than 113 countries worldwide under various titles.
The award is flexible and can be done by anyone aged 14-15 in their own time. Mental or physical ability or social circumstances should never be a barrier. Moreover, the individual chooses what activities to do depending on his/her interests and resources.
The Award Programme is designed to foster the values of self-worth, self-reliance and perseverance. It challenges young people to set and achieve their own goals. It is a chance for young people to develop teamwork and leadership skills, as well as a sense of responsibilities to themselves and the nation.
