Dear Youders and friends,

 

We are holding an annual event, SEYSA Youth Programme 2013, to strengthen
the social awareness and enhance the personal growth of talented youngsters.
It is tailored for the outstanding secondary students, who are awardees of
the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fund, to promote their self-development
through participating in educational programmes, exchanging their views and
exploring the relevant experiences with the guidance mentorship from other
senior Youders.  The theme of Youth Programme 2013 is "Sustainability".
Through a series of social exposure, developmental programmes, as well as
organising their own social service programme, Youth Programme 2013 aims at
facilitating participants' reflection on their own life goals and sustaining
relationship with the society.  It is also a unique opportunity for
participants to widen their horizons and expand their personal network.

 

We are happy to inform you that this meaningful programme will take place
from 29/6 to 17/8 of 2013, with an adventure training camp on 30/6 to 2/7,
and 3 major day events to be held tentatively on 29/6, 27/7 and 17/8.  To
facilitate the learning of the participants of the Youth Programme, we
cordially invite you to be our Student Leader or Mentor of the Programme.
Besides providing guidance to the students, you will also meet other student
leaders, mentors and honourary guests of the Programme.  We hope that Youth
Programme 2013 will enrich the experiences of both the participants and our
Student Leaders/ Mentors.

 

 



 

Being a Participant:

                Awardees of the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Prizes (For
Outstanding Senior Secondary Students) or Sir Edward Youde Memorial Medals ,
either being awarded in the current year or previous three years, are
eligible to register for Youth Programme 2013. Please complete the online
registration <http://www.seysa.org/news_events/youth_program/> , by
submitting your personal particulars and a passage not more than 200 words,
stating your reasons for joining Youth Programme 2013, your personal goal in
this Programme and how you would make this experience most fruitful for you
and other participants. The registration deadline is 15th June, 2013.  Top
30 applicants will be selected to take part in this exclusive programme
tailor-made for our young awardees.  

 

Being a Student Leader :

To be a Student Leader, in addition to have been awarded the SEYMF
scholarships or prizes, you should be attending a degree programme at the
University or be a fresh graduate in 2013.  You will be the facilitator for
around 5 mentees in a small group to gain their most from the Youth
Programme.  The mentees are outstanding secondary students who are
participants of the Youth Programme 2013.  Together with other Student
Leaders, you will be the facilitators of a big group of 15 mentees to
organise a social service event for a selected NGO in Early-August.  You are
required to keep contact with the mentees from time to time during the
summer holiday (between 29/6 and 17/8), either on phone or by attending
their meetings and service events.  You have to be confident to offer
constructive suggestions when your mentees encounter difficulties in the
process of organising the social service programme.  Your interaction with
the mentees is crucial to their learning in the process.  You are strongly
encouraged to attend the major events on 29/6, 30/6 - 2/7, 27/7 and 17/8 and
on the event day of the group.

 

Being a Mentor :

To be a mentor, you should have at least 3 years of work experience after
graduation from the University and are willing to share your own experience
and views with the young prize/ scholarship awardees.  There is no fixed
schedule for meeting the mentees and student leaders.  Yet, you are required
to be able to attend the major events on 29/6 and 17/8.  The student leaders
or mentees may contact you during the summer for informal gatherings.  Your
befriending and interaction with the mentees are crucial to their learning
and benefits from this mentorship programme.  

 

Youth Programme 2013 is free of charge for Student Leaders and Mentors.  A
briefing will be held before 29/6 to familiarise you with the Programme and
each other.  If you are interested to be one of our Student Leaders or
Mentors, please reply us by email or phone.  Our organising team will talk
to you individually to explore your suitability to be our student leader/
mentor of the Programme.  Please do not hesitate to contact our mentorship
programme coordinator, Miss Annie PUN at 6106 7436 or annie.pun@xxxxxxxxx
for enquires or further information. We are looking forward to your
favourable response and hope the Youth Programme could bring about life
enrichment to both of you and the young participants!
