National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) 

What is NYAA?

The National Youth Achievement Award programme (NYAA) is an a holistic, balanced and non-competitive programme of voluntary leisure time activities, designed to provide our young people with a platform to develop personal qualities and skills to make a difference to themselves, their communities and the world.

The National Youth Achievement Award is one of the premier youth development programmes in Singapore. Officially launched on 9 May 1992 by the President of the Republic of Singapore at the Istana, the NYAA Programme aims to encourage young people between the ages of 13 and 30 years to develop personal qualities of self-reliance, perseverance and a sense of responsibility to themselves, to society and to the nation.

At UWCSEA Dover Campus, we offer the Silver and Gold level programmes. These activities are open to students in Grades 9 to 12. You can find more information regarding the award by clicking on the tiles below.

Note: Application for our Gold programme will open in February 2026 of the Grade 10's academic year
