Citi-YMCA Youth for Causes is a community initiative launched by Citi and the YMCA of Singapore in 2002. Funded by Citi Foundation, the programme is a catalyst to promote social entrepreneurship and community leadership development among Singapore youths. It provides youths aged 13 to 25 with seed funding, resources and guidance of selected mentors, to execute sustainable social entrepreneurship ideas and business models that benefit and support Voluntary Welfare Organizations (VWOs) of their choice. In teams of four, the youths will learn to budget, raise funds, mobilize volunteers and increase public awareness for the social causes of their VWOs.
