When Amin first signed up for ITELP in 2015, he had no idea that he would later return as its Programme Lead. Then an ITE student, he was disheartened by the negative connotations associated with ITE and wanted to prove his worth. Seeking to take ownership of his leadership training and growth, he joined the programme. Throughout the course, he honed his public speaking and project management skills, which in turn improved his performance in school and in his extra-curricular activities.

 

Although ITELP was his first encounter with SINDA Youth Club (SYC), he readily took up other opportunities at SINDA to empower others like him. Putting his newfound leadership skills into action, he became a facilitator, mentor, programme lead and advisor with ITELP. Today, he continues to shape the programme and take fellow programme leads under his wing.

 

Amin is also a primary committee member of SYC, where he plans collaborations with other youth organisations to tackle community issues and drive support for the nation’s arts, culture and sports scenes.
