Mentoring SG

We are thrilled to share the highlights from our recent “Be a Mentor” training for two groups of Team Mentors representing various esteemed organisations. 🌟 To name a few, the Ministry of Education, Singapore (MOE), the National Council of Social Service (NCSS), and the Ministry of Health (Singapore). These Team Mentors are appointed and led by the National Youth Council Singapore (NYC) in collaboration with the Public Service Division as part of the broader NYC Leaders Course 2024. Notably, over 90% of participants expressed confidence in their mentoring roles after gaining practical tools and strategies that enable greater and effective engagement with their mentees. Furthermore, we are pleased to announce a 100% satisfaction rate, a testament to the exceptional facilitation of Brian Liu, PBM , whose expertise and passion made the sessions both engaging and impactful. 👏 Some key takeaways shared by the Team Mentors include the importance of understanding mentees, focusing on their needs and building trust, so as to forge meaningful mentor-mentee relationships. In addition, the mentors cultivated valuable skills to trigger 💬 deeper conversations and foster more 🤝 profound connections with their mentees. To all 29 Team Mentors, thank you for your dedication and active participation during the session. As you continue on your mission to guide and support our youth leaders over the next 12 months, remember that your efforts are shaping the future leaders of 🇸🇬 Singapore. Your work today is building a brighter tomorrow. 🚀

For many of us, we assume that mentorship occurs as part of a structured programme. However, what we don't realise is that mentors are everywhere. Take Jordan Thomas, for example. His support system is made up of his parents and teachers, who have been his mentors in countless informal ways. Mentoring is about providing guidance, support, and insights and more often than not, it occurs in the most informal settings. Can you recall moments in your life where you provided mentorship to those around you, without even realising it? 💡

Never underestimate the power of a mentor. Last Thursday, we hosted our very first Partners' Engagement session, where our flash mentors and partners engaged in meaningful discussions, forged new connections and took a glimpse into our vision and plans for the years to come. One of the most memorable takeaways from the event was learning how one of our panelists, Salwa Zain, successfully pivoted from a Bachelor's in English Language to a booming career in engineering. Guess what? It all started with a single conversation with her mentor. True to the theme for the night, igniting the mentoring impact can change lives in ways we didn't know could be possible. A huge thank you to our dynamic host Brian Liu, PBM and esteemed panelists John Ng and Danny Loong for sharing their experiences on all-things mentorship, as well as Kelvin Kong, Raina Lim, Claudia Selvakumar and Gary Chia for introducing Mentoring SG's inner works during the breakout sessions. Last but certainly not the least, the Mentoring SG team expresses our deepest gratitude to all attendees for their active participation during the event. Let's continue to set their passion for mentorship alight and take Singapore's mentoring landscape to greater heights!❤️🔥
