Youth Day Appeal
Where youths rally around communities in need
Since its inception in 1984, the Youth Day Appeal has stood as an annual beacon for fundraising efforts, advocating for youth involvement, and rallying substantial support for communities in need.
Aligned with the Ministry of Education’s Values-in-Action Programme, this campaign encourages secondary school and junior college students to embrace the spirit of giving, fostering essential values of compassion, respect, and empathy from an early age.
100% of funds raised through Youth Day Appeal go towards empowering the lives of adults with disabilities, children with special needs and youth-at-risk, families in need of assistance, persons with mental health conditions and seniors in need of support.
Being diagnosed with an intellectual disability was never a barrier to Fizzy. In fact, she went on to thrive in academics and athletics at ASPN Tanglin School, a social service agency supported by Community Chest.
With passions in fusion dance, silat, and soccer, Fizzy has excelled in all three, performing with a silat group and representing Singapore in the Olympics Asia Pacific S.E.A Unified Football Tournament. As a 2020 Lee Kuan Yew Exemplary Student Award recipient, she shows us that potential has no limits.
Our school tours are dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring youth to take action for those in need. Students will hear from passionate individuals who are leading change in their communities and learn how they can make a difference.

River Valley High School
River Valley High School has had a longstanding partnership with Youth Day Appeal (YDA). Through the collaboration, our students are motivated to give in monetary donations or volunteering work to the less privileged communities. We appreciate YDA's approach, which is well aligned with our school’s direction, in developing our students to be concerned citizens and future leaders who are active contributors to the community. It is especially meaningful that our students are provided the opportunities to learn about and better empathise with Community Chest service users from various community groups in Singapore. We look forward to a sustained partnership with YDA!
Dunman High School
Youth Day Appeal resonates with Dunman High School’s mission of Care, Serve and Lead. The school inculcates in all Dunmanians the importance of showing care for the community, serving to better the lives of others, and in time exercise leadership as community changemakers. Complementary to our school’s Values In Action efforts, we believe that Youth Day Appeal nurtures socially responsible students who are able to contribute meaningfully to the community. We see that Youth Day Appeal brings out the best in our Dunmanians in the spirit of giving and sharing.
Victoria School
Victoria School is grateful to the Community Chest for the opportunity to take part in the Youth Day Appeal. This initiative gave our students the chance to learn about empathy and the importance of giving back to the community. The resources provided for the donation drive helped students learn about the challenges faced by vulnerable groups in Singapore. They also helped them to understand how collectively, donations could make a difference to the lives of the beneficiaries. Such sharing made the cause real and meaningful, adding value to our students’ character education.
