RED DRAGONFLY PROJECT Nov ‘09 Youth Devt Workshops

Asian Journeys’ RED DRAGONFLY PROJECT is a youth outreach effort to reach young people in the HDB Heartlands, who have great potential and talents which can be nurtured and unleashed.  Our aim is to initiate mentoring relationships with parents and adult mentors such as teachers, coaches and youth leaders in the community to provide coaching and support network for these youths. We seek to walk alongside these young people through experiential learning journeys, small group workshops and volunteerism projects to help them self-discover and develop their leadership.

The Red Dragonfly Project is a youth development initiative by Asian Journeys Ltd, a not-for-profit social enterprise, in partnership with schools and organizations, and supported by the Lee Foundation.
