One of our flagship events that
happen once every 2 years is
Project Ignite. We worked with
schools around Punggol CC to
bring service learning on a very
close basis to the secondary 2 and
3 students. We curate service
learning camps, training workshops
from accredited vendors to equip
the students with the required
skillsets to run a community
project.
This project has led to a series of
community projects that have been
organised since 2014. Through the
past 14 terms, we have been
recognised from various
organisations the effort that the club
has placed in. More importantly, we
have produced students and
project teams that won national
awards. We hope to continue to be
an enabler for the youth!

ACHIEVEMENTS
The People’s Association (PA) introduced the PA Youth
Movement (PAYM) Awards in 1984 to encourage greater
participation of members in the programmes and activities of the
PAYM. It aims to recognise and profile Youth Clubs (YCs) and
Youth Executive Committee Members for their outstanding
contributions towards the community, inspire YEC members to
strive to do better in reaching out and making positive difference
to the community and gather more youths to come forward and
get involved in the community. The PAYM Awards is held once
every two years in accordance with the term of the YECs.

What have we achieved?
