VALOUR



Valour is a youth outreach ad-hoc under NUS Muslim Society, with the aim of serving the youths in the community.


For Valour 22/23, the vision is to prepare youths to take on an active role in boosting their well-being and happiness. Our objectives are 3-pronged: (i) To equip youths with knowledge to take on and adapt to future challenges, (ii) To instill positive values in youths which promote physical, mental and spiritual wellness and (iii) To inculcate the sense of giving back in youths. This year, we collaborated with Pertapis Children’s Home and targeted 17 14 to 16-year-old youth residents.

BONDING DAY



Valour's first event was a bonding event, which aims to establish rapport between the youths at Pertapis Children’s Home and Valour committee members.


Icebreaker games such as Splat and Charades, followed by sports matches such as Captain’s Ball for the girls and Soccer for the boys, were carried out, in hopes to foster team spirit and perseverance. The event ended with a reflection session between the youths and committee members to get to know each other better and for youths to share their expectations of Valour 22/23.



WELL-BEING DAY



Well-being Day aims to help these youths, who are facing personal challenges, maintain healthy levels of personal well-being independently and equip them with the relevant knowledge about spiritual and mental health and useful self-care tips/strategies. This is in hopes that they can take on and adapt to future challenges with these beneficial knowledge, while also providing a comforting and welcoming space for them to explore these topics.


Programmes such as reflection sessions, pitstop games, sharing sessions by asatizah and prompt painting activity were carried out and aim to help the youths gain better understanding of their own thoughts and emotions, learn to manage their expectations and explore their personal goals as well as discover what self-care and self-maintenance is to them.



DAY CAMP



The Day Camp aims to allow youths to take a break from their school work and enjoy carefree adventures around Singapore through games. The youths were brought to SuperPark to engage in various fun-filled activities, before heading to Marina Barrage for lunch, games and a prize-giving segment.




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.

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.
