Building Networks, Shaping Futures

Youth Connections (YC) is a programme by the SBF Foundation (SBFF) that connects young individuals, including youth-at-risk, with accomplished business leaders. By offering a positive role model and fostering meaningful relationships, YC empowers youths to expand their professional networks, grow self-confidence and foster career aspirations.

What We Do
The SBF Foundation, partners with Singapore Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic and Halogen to:
• Connect Youths and Leaders:

YC pairs youths, including underserved students, with experienced business leaders who serve as role models and open doors to opportunities they might not otherwise access.

• Strengthen Networks:

Over two months, participants engage in three impactful sessions - speed matching, bonding over lunch, and a company visit. These interactions create meaningful connections, broaden perspectives, and offer insights and opportunities into the professional world.

• Reflect and Celebrate:

The programme closes with sharings of personal growth as well as appreciation for new and meaningful friendships formed.
