The Asean Youth Community (AYC) was recently launched to serve as an avenue for Singapore youths and students to connect with others in the region and participate in internships as well as other volunteer opportunities.
The new platform is an initiative of the Character and Leadership Academy (CLA), a local charity group.
The launching of the AYC was held at Serangoon Garden Secondary School to mark the 51st anniversary of ASEAN. The event was attended by about 400 youth delegates and diplomats.
Participants for the internship and volunteer opportunities will be selected by the AYC, and application will be open to tertiary students in Singapore.
