Welcome note

“I am very happy that SINDA and in particular, the SINDA Youth Club is organising the inaugural SINDA Youth Leaders Seminar (SYLS). This will be a timely programme as SINDA approaches its 20th anniversary because we want to reach out to and engage more Indian youth leaders.

Participants can look forward to an exciting and fun programme comprising activities that will raise their awareness of community issues and equip them with the knowledge and skills we want to see in future leaders in our community.

This Seminar is for youths who want to realise their aspirations and contribute to society as purposeful individuals and I look forward to interacting with the participants at the seminar.”

- Ms Indranee Rajah
President, SINDA
At the inaugural launch of SYLS, 2011.

“The more exposure, development and training we give to our youth, the more our community will build a reservoir of intellectual and social capital for the future. This is the core aim of the SINDA Youth Leaders Seminar – to give young people an opportunity to learn from community leaders and from one another, to network and to stretch their potential as far as it will go. Seminar participants will experience a unique mix of panel discussions, team building, leadership workshops and service learning. If you’re up for a challenging few days of personal reflection and growth, join us!”

Chairman, SINDA Youth Club
