YBS believes strongly that the aspiration and resilience of Singapore's youth will propel our society with a soul. Our cosmopolitan culture places emphasis on creating an entrepreneurial spirit with a “think global” but “feel local” mindset in our local youths. While not everyone is cut to be an entrepreneur, we can all still be enterprising in the way we operate at our workplaces, as company employees.
YBS supports the group of Singapore youths who have good business ideas but are unable to obtain financing to help with their business start-up. They are ‘disadvantaged’ in that way, but not necessarily fall under the category of the ‘absolute poor and needy’ of society – they do not suffer physical impairment or life-threatening illnesses and are not impoverished. This makes it far more challenging for YBS to raise funds from the public because our clients do not have any ‘heart-wrenching’ personal stories to share. However, they do have stories of hope and inspiration.
We earnestly seek your support to help us develop youths from job seekers to job creators. Be a part of YBS if you share the same interest in developing Singapore youths to be more resilient and to have a more global outlook and broader perspectives of life.
Your support will:
generate an educational outreach to 100,000 youths across 100 schools in Singapore
contribute towards building a self sustainable economy thus reducing the unemployment rate among the youths in Singapore.
kindle entrepreneurial excellence in Singapore
It costs $500,000 (with 2.5 times tax-deductions) to run the YBS programme. This translates to a training and development cost of $5.00 per student.
Every dollar you sponsor or donate, will provide educational outreach to:
Promote an entrepreneurial culture among young people in Singapore through collaborations with local schools, entrepreneurs and corporations
Provide accessible financing for viable youth start-ups and fund the expansion of existing youth businesses
Provide appropriate support in the form of business training, mentoring and networking opportunities
As part of our commitment to our donors, all donations will be channelled strategically to ensure success of our youth programmes.
