Imagine you've just run into 15-year-old you who has accidentally time travelled to this day and age. Would you feel scared or excited for them? What kind of modern-day concerns would you think stress them out? Why? Swipe to get a sneak peak of what TODAY's generation of youths are concerned about, and maybe you'll have some answers. (Watch the full video at https://lnkd.in/eGgXrVGe) Amongst today's concerns, it's distressing that not all youths have equitable access to opportunities that can help them navigate the complexity of the world today — we're talking about those who are burdened with external factors beyond their control. This could look like growing up without financial instability or the lack of positive role models in their lives. 💬 What if 15-year-old you were part of today's underserved community? How would you level the playing field for them? 🔗 Donate to power equitable opportunities for youths at https://lnkd.in/gCYpPmGz 🔗 Learn more about how NFTE benefits youths at https://lnkd.in/gzU3s3PG Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE)

We believe that as a student, carving a successful life for yourself goes beyond achieving stellar grades — especially for youths who lack the advantages that ensure them equitable access to opportunities. This could mean not having positive role models to look up to, coming from financially unstable backgrounds, and a range of other factors. The 40 graduates from the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) programme who attended Halogen's very first alumni homecoming two Fridays ago reaffirmed this for us. From rekindling connections and forging friendships across cohorts to celebrating how far all our past NFTE participants have come, it was truly a heartwarming evening for our alumni spanning across 2017 to 2023's cohorts and the current and former Halogen facilitators who had been part of their journey 🥺🫂 Seeing our alumni, who once walked through our doors as 15-year-olds and are now stepping into greater adventures in life was a powerful reminder of why investing in levelling the playing field for youths from all backgrounds truly matters. 🔗 Donate to us and power equitable opportunities for youths at https://lnkd.in/gCYpPmGz 🔗 Learn more about how NFTE benefits youths at https://lnkd.in/gzU3s3PG Chew Hui Chloe Ting Divagaran Kalaivanan (Diva) Jermaine Ng Mohamad Roshaquell Sholihin

As 2024's National Day approaches, we're reminded of the importance of connection and community, especially for today’s youths who often feel isolated despite living in a hyper-connected world. 👉 Read this article by Halogen's CEO which explores simple yet impactful ways to foster meaningful connections this national day. Happy early 59th birthday, Singapore! And have a restful long weekend everyone 🇸🇬

“When pitching my ideas, I learnt how to do it with confidence, which will help me a lot when I chance upon someone who may want to invest in my business idea.” - Chelsea Kwok, NFTE participant from Greendale Secondary School We are FOUR months to the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE)! The top three finalists from each participating class, from 16 schools, in Singapore will pitch their business ideas to judges, with ultimately one person emerging as the winner. The winner is known as the Global Young Entrepreneur (Singapore), and they will be invited to represent Singapore at the World Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge in New York and compete alongside youths from other parts of the world. 🗣🔥 As part of the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) journey, Halogen brings secondary students who are gearing up for their business plan competition to our corporate partner’s work spaces to learn more about their scope of work, what it’s like to work in an office at the Downtown Financial District, and the structure of an effective elevator pitch. Last week, youths from Greendale Secondary School had a blast connecting with Booking.com's friendly and supportive staff and learnt personalised tips and tricks on how they can improve on their business pitch for the competition. 👉 Our part-time facilitators support youths we engage through this programme! 🔗 Learn how you can empower youths as a youth yourself at halogen.sg/volunteer
