The National Community Leadership Institute (Nacli) will roll out a 10-week youth leadership programme with overseas immersion in 2025.
Also, a six-month Leadership in Community Programme will be launched in November for community and civic society leaders.
These schemes were announced by Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong at a conference to mark the 60th anniversary of the institute on Sept 28, held at its campus in Buona Vista.
“Community and youth leadership plays a vital role. It is essential as it forms the backbone of our social fabric, fostering social cohesion, facilitating ground-up initiatives, and addressing local, micro-specific needs of our community,” he said.
