National Young Leader Award – Halogen Foundation Singapore

The National Young Leader Award complements the Singapore Youth Award (for youths up to 35 years old) by reaching out to a specific age group of young leaders, between 15 and 19 years old. This award was launched to recognise young leaders who are involved, engaged, and have conviction in the things they do, regardless of their academic achievements.

By highlighting the stories of these young leaders, we hope it inspires a generation of young people to also rise up and make that positive contribution in their communities.

Assessment

The rubric is developed to measure five key domains that we believe young leaders need to act upon.

Involvement: Being active in their immediate communities such as their class, CCA, neighbourhood

Conviction: Acting on issues and passion areas that they believe in

Engagement: Leading their immediate community to be involved in nation or worldwide issues

Self Leadership: Leading oneself well and being a positive influence to those around them

Group Leadership: Working well in teams to achieve common goals
