OUR MISSION
To inspire and influence a generation of young people to
lead themselves and others well.
OUR VISION
To be the recognised charity dedicated to transforming the lives of young people through leadership and entrepreneurship development.
WHY YOUTH
This generation will soon be the largest demographic in the world, with predictions that they will account for 40% of the global population by the year 2028. There is a pressing need to invest in our young people to prepare them to take the helm of our economy, country, and world. At the same time, we are aware of the anxieties that come with challenges that the future may bring.
We tackle this by providing all youth with equal opportunity, uplifting those from the fringes of society through our proven leadership and entrepreneurship programmes. Our work seeks to establish a strong foundation upon which youth can grow to be competent, of good character, have positive mindsets and skillsets.
Through these efforts, we hope to achieve the larger objectives of enhancing social mobility and reducing elitism in our nation. Tapping on the changing face of the next generation where 60% are looking for careers that will have an impact on the world, we strive to build an enduring and dynamic culture of entrepreneurship where our young people are equipped to create a better future for themselves, their families, and Singapore.
OUR VALUES
PEOPLE
We believe every individual is of great worth and has a purpose to fulfil. Every person should be given the platform and opportunity to shine regardless of their background.
RESPONSIBILITY
We have a part to play in the community and need to be accountable for our words and actions. Leadership is a privilege and not a right.
INTEGRITY
We commit to upholding honesty and good character in all that we do. Integrity is the hallmark of great character and great character is the hallmark of great leadership.
GENEROSITY
We seek to be giving and serving in the communities we are in, and empowering others to do the same. Leadership is not about being served but it is about serving.
OUR APPROACH
The sustainable change we hope to create happens from the inside out. A person’s belief system will largely affect their values, behaviours and actions. We aspire to build the right beliefs in young people with regards to their sense of self-identity, their self-esteem and their potential. At the end of the day, we want our youth to be assured and be able to say of himself/herself “I am, I matter and I can”.
OUR DOMAIN
At Halogen, we use the combined effectiveness of inspiration, education and action in the curation of our programmes and events as a holistic approach in youth development.
Inspiration
Inspiration is as simple as when youth can see what they can become and potentially achieve.
Education
Education is needed for youths to enable them to make informed decisions and choices in their daily life.
Action
The action is empowering youth with practical ways to make a positive difference in their community.
In this digital age, youth consume most of their information and knowledge through the internet. Their beliefs, values, behaviours and actions can largely be influenced by what they consume online. This information may shape their perspectives and worldview accordingly. Without proper guidance, their impressionable minds may not be able to assess the positive or negative impact of this information.
Hence, at Halogen, we believe in inspiring the youth to recognise their innate potential, providing them with the knowledge required, and empowering them to take positive actions to lead themselves and others well.
