It is generally observed that today’s young people are more
concerned about issues of justice, parity, equitability and
right versus wrong. As a result, they are more empowered
– to act on their belief and speak up.
The NYAA seeks to support this orientation by encouraging
more significant interaction with the ground. The intent is
to allow our youths to validate, verify or challenge their
assumptions about what is real.
“Leadership and service to the community broadened
my perspectives. I am humbled and grateful for
my journey with like-minded peers whom I have
collaborated with and learnt from when creating
meaningful activities to raise awareness and promote
action on societal issues affecting the less privileged.”
