The Singapore Youth Forum is an entirely student-led event run by volunteers. Opportunities exist for UWCSEA students to be part of the organising team, from working on the setup and promotion to being there on the day to help our speakers and guests have the best possible experience.
We are looking for enthusiastic students, eager to learn and input ideas and develop the Youth Forum with us! Not only is this a stellar addition to CAS, but you will also be able to develop your skills in various fields, whether that be in the leadership department, the financial stages or the creative processes behind the event.
