Impact to the Community by Youth (Project I.C.Y.) - "Youth Initiatives that Matter, For Youth, By Youth." is an initiative encouraging youth to turn their ideas of community-based projects close to their hearts into reality by granting approved individual projects up to $1,000 and group projects up to $3,000.

 

Tying in with the Global Youth Leaders’ Summit theme of ‘Matters That Matter’, the Project seeks to empower youth to run initiatives that matter to them without the worry of funding, thereby creating a ripple effect of putting their best foot forward and caring for the community, regardless of age.

Project I.C.Y. was launched on the 17th of July 2021 by Minister of State, Gan Siow Huang, during the 13th Global Youth Leaders’ Summit.


InnoTrek Pte. Ltd., an Outdoor Education Organisation, has also pledged $250,000 our initiative.

Project I.C.Y. is looking to award grants to 100 projects as part of it's initiate roll out phase and is targeting to support 250 youth-led projects eventually.
