Project Information
YouthTechSG is Singapore’s largest youth-led charitable movement in tech dedicated to shaping Singapore’s digital future.
Founded in 2019 by a small group of passionate volunteers, it has evolved into Singapore’s largest youth-in-tech movement, driven by a clear belief that young people will not just adapt to the digital future, but lead it.
By providing learning and networking opportunities, YouthTechSG empowers and inspires young people to play a part in Singapore’s digital economy.
This is put into action by giving youths access to platforms to voice their opinions and create tangible impact. YouthTechSG ensures these perspectives are heard not only within Singapore's technological ecosystem but are also represented in key regional and international dialogues on digital policy, innovation, and ethics, ensuring that the next generation helps steer the conversation on the global digital stage.
YouthTechSG operates through two key divisions: YouthTech Alliance and YouthTech Institute. Each division addresses different areas of specialisation and development.
YouthTech Alliance functions to bridge the gap between what the tech industry needs and what young people are learning by facilitating direct industry exposure, curated skill-development programs, hands-on project experiences, and real-world challenges. YouthTech Alliance aims to develop, identify, and engage youths to guide and nurture Singapore's future digital architects. By connecting talent with opportunity and practical challenges, the division helps transform theoretical knowledge into applied innovation.
YouthTech Institute is dedicated to addressing and educating all youths on vulnerabilities, and equipping them with the confidence to navigate digital risks. YouthTech Institute’s work is driven by 3 core focuses: Awareness, Syndication & Identification, and Social Change & Advocacy. Through these core focuses, YouthTech Institute prepares young people with the skills and knowledge to traverse the complex digital space safely and securely, fostering a culture of digital resilience and ensuring youths are not only users of technology, but also responsible, informed and ethical guardians.
Fundamentally, YouthTechSG is The Youth Movement to Shape Singapore's Digital Future.
