Programmes for Youth & Schools
FOR STUDENTS
30 Hour Famine
Running for over 30 years in Singapore, the 30 Hour Famine has engaged more than 6,000 youth aged 13–30 as part of a global movement advocating for children in need. Participants fast for 30 hours while navigating interactive, educational challenges — building empathy for vulnerable children and families who go without food for far longer.
FOR STUDENTS
Youth For Change Conference (YFCC)
Since 2016, World Vision has organised YFCC to introduce Singapore youth to contemporary humanitarian and development issues through cross-border learning and collaboration among youth. Participants have the opportunity to engage with overseas peers, field workers, and communities in authentic project settings.
FOR EDUCATORS
School Talks & Workshops
Teachers and students are welcome to request a speaker from World Vision for your school, class, CCA, or organisation!
We offer talks and workshops on a range of global humanitarian and development needs which can be customised according to the learning objectives of the students.Read more about some of our workshops such as the Girls Empowerment & Period Protection: Pad-making Workshop and One Day Without Shoes.
FOR EDUCATORS & STUDENTS
Global 6K for Water
Global 6K for Water is a meaningful values in action (VIA) activity that gives youths and students the opportunity to step into the shoes of children in vulnerable communities who walk long distances every day to collect water that is often unsafe. Through completing a 6 km walk or run, the average distance many children walk daily for water, participants gain a deeper understanding of global poverty, develop empathy and compassion, and are empowered to put their values into action by helping bring clean water closer to children and families around the world.
FOR EDUCATORS & STUDENTS
Service-Learning Projects
Schools and youth groups can partner with World Vision on in-person or virtual Service-Learning projects, run in collaboration with overseas communities. World Vision guides teams through defining objectives, designing activities, and executing their programme to meaningfully address community needs.
In-person trips run up to two weeks, focusing on education and skills-building for local children and youth. Virtual projects deliver up to 20 hours of online programming via Zoom. Teams may also apply for the YEP or YEP-GO grant from Youth Corps Singapore to offset project costs.
