Red Dragonfly Project at Clementi Student Centre
Asian Journeys
RED DRAGONFLY PROJECT
will launch the various youth development programmes at Clementi Student Service Centre from June 2009
We are pleased to announce that Asian Journeys will partner Singapore Polytechnic and Clementi Student Service Centre to provide our youth programmes and services to serve the youths at Clementi from June 2009 onwards.
Asian Journeys’ RED DRAGONFLY PROJECT is a youth outreach effort to reach young people in the HDB Heartlands. Many of these youths have great potential and talents which can be nurtured and unleashed.
Our aim is to work with parents and teachers to initiate mentoring relationships with adult mentors and youth leaders in the community to provide a constellation of coaching and support network for these youths. We seek to walk alongside these young people to discover their dreams and passion through experiential learning journeys, small group workshops and volunteerism projects to help them develop their self-leadership and personal effectiveness for life.
The Red Dragonfly Project is a youth development initiative of Asian Journeys Ltd, a not-for-profit social enterprise, in partnership with Clementi Student Service Centre, Singapore Polytechnic student volunteers, schools and various welfare service organizations as well as corporate partners. The Red Dragonfly Project is supported by the Lee Foundation.
