VALOUR
Valour is a youth outreach ad-hoc carried out annually, which aims to instill in the youth the essence of inspiring oneself to inspire others. This year we focused on nurturing resilient youth and fostering the spirit of giving back to society.
This year, Valour’s vision was to prepare youth to be future-ready and develop passion for
lifelong learning. We worked with Muhammadiyah Welfare Home. Our objectives were
(a) To equip youth with knowledge to take on and adapt to future challenges,
(b) To instil positive values in youth to promote self confidence and awareness of their own
abilities and
(c) To inculcate the sense of giving back in youth
BONDING SESSION
Valour's first event was an online bonding session to set goals and build relationships between our members and the youths at Muhammadiyah Welfare Home. Through the bonding session, we hope to inculcate communication and teamwork in the youths as well as encourage adaptability in them when faced with new challenges.
PREPARATION FOR THE WORKING WORLD
Our second event was an online event which aimed to equip the youths with the necessary knowledge and skills in preparation for the working world. Through the session, participants learnt how to manage relationships with other individuals.
The session also included a couple of working world preparation culture and interactive role playing games in the workplace setting to help participants better prepare themselves for the working world.
EXPECTATIONS OF NS
Our third event was a physical event discussing on the topic of NS expectations whereby the facilitators shared with participants and provided useful insights on how to prepare for NS. Additionally, engaging games were carried out to simulate the respective NS vocations that helped to build teamwork among participants.
COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY
Distribution of Hampers
Our fourth event was a physical community event with PA Mesra where the youth participants helped to pack the goods and our members delivered them to the assigned houses. Through this event, we had hoped to encourage the boys to interact with people from different backgrounds.
SPORTS DAY
To conclude the series, a physical sports day was held with the objectives to foster team spirit, perseverance and strengthen the bonds among the youths as well as to promote physical wellness.
WHY JOIN?
Valour provides an opportunity for individuals who are interested in reaching out to youths in our community to nurture their resilience, confidence and to instil the spirit of giving back to our society. With taking a collaborative approach to plan fun and educational activities, imparting important values such as gratitude as well as to recognise the importance of giving back to society to these youths will be possible. For instance, Valour’s 20/21 team practiced the theme of “Levelling Up”, to encourage the practice of always improving on one’s self for the better which included raising awareness and inclination of gratitude and to give back to society within both its members and the youths.
Through Valour, one would experience a lot of meaningful collaborative work within the committee and with the youths as well. While the activities held will most certainly be fun and will provide an opportunity to foster nurturing relationships and forge bonds with the youths, these activities will also be educational and filled with important lessons to be learned.
