Where Can Students Find NEA YES Leaders Programme Nomination Information?

Students, schools and youth organisations should begin with the official NEA YES Leaders Programme page on Clean & Green Singapore. It links the nomination form, programme FAQ, information-session route and examples of YES Leaders’ projects.

The programme is a key initiative under the YOUth for Environmental Sustainability movement. The official page says it equips youth leaders with sustainability knowledge and skills, real-world project experience, guidance, collaboration and networking opportunities.

The page reviewed on 21 October 2026 shows a programme timeline running from nominations in January 2026 to graduation in June or July 2027. Because a visible form or old milestone does not by itself prove that nominations are still open, confirm the live form and FAQ before submitting anything.

Which sources own YES Leaders nominations?

The Clean & Green Singapore programme page is the public owner and the safest starting point. Its linked flyer and FAQ carry detailed requirements, while the linked FormSG route is the transaction surface. A school, institution or organisation may nominate a student and set its own internal deadline, but its message should be checked against the official material.

What should a student check before acting?

1. Identify the live programme cycle

The published timeline spans more than one calendar year. Read the cycle named in the form and FAQ, not only the year in which you happen to open the page. If the form is closed or names a completed intake, wait for the next official notice instead of reusing saved links.

2. Separate nomination from personal interest

The page provides a nomination form, so a student’s interest is not automatically a completed application. Confirm who may nominate, what endorsement is needed and whether the school or organisation is running an internal selection. Nomination also does not guarantee a place.

3. Read the full commitment before saying yes

A leadership programme can include training, project development, mentoring, collaboration and a final milestone. Compare the official timeline with examinations, CCA, internship or National Service commitments. A strong idea matters, but the ability to attend and sustain the project matters too.

4. Keep the proposed project evidence-based

YES Leaders is about meaningful sustainability action, not a decorative “green” label. Use the FAQ and examples to understand the expected scope, then define the problem, affected community, intended outcome and evidence that would show progress. Do not promise funding, partners or impact that the official sources have not confirmed.

A practical next step

Open the official page, download the current FAQ and flyer, and note the exact cycle on the nomination form. Then ask the school or organisation contact whether it is nominating students and whether an internal deadline applies. Keep a short record of the page date and the documents used.

For education-stage planning, continue with eduKate’s Singapore School Pathways and Calendar. To find other verified question-led routes, use the official source-guides directory. Programme participation is separate from school admission, subject eligibility and selection.

Explore the connected learning guides

Choose the question that brought you here. Open one useful guide, try a small task, and stop when you have what you need.

Take one question further

The same learning habit can travel across subjects, while each subject keeps its own methods. These routes help you notice a difficulty, understand one part of it, and return to something you can do.

A word is familiar, but using it is difficult.

Move from recognising a word to retrieving it in a new context. Understand vocabulary plateaus.

Try it without the guide: Choose one word you already know. Close the guide and use it in a new sentence. Explain why it fits; try another context tomorrow.

A piece of writing has ideas, but the reader loses the thread.

Make the order of events and the links between sentences clear. Explore composition writing.

Try it without the guide: Choose one short paragraph. Read the relevant explanation, close it, and revise the paragraph. Ask someone to tell you what happened and why.

The Mathematics seems familiar, but marks still disappear.

Find the first point where the working stops being reliable. Find Secondary 4 A-Math mark leakage.

Try it without the guide: For a Secondary 4 A-Math question you have attempted, locate the first uncertain line. Repair that step, then try a comparable question without the worked answer.

A Science fact is remembered, but the explanation is incomplete.

Connect the evidence to a scientific idea and the resulting change. Follow the Primary Science learning route.

Try it without the guide: Choose a familiar Primary Science example. Explain the evidence, the idea and the result without notes. Then change one condition and explain your prediction.

Two accounts of the world seem to disagree.

Check the question, source, date and evidence before combining claims. Explore the World Knowledge research library.

Try it without the guide: Take one claim. Find the source best placed to support it, note its date, and state what remains uncertain. Return to your original question.

There is plenty of help, but independence is hard to see.

Check what the learner can understand and do after support is removed. Understand how education works.

Try it without the guide: Choose one small task the child has practised. Agree on a calm, brief attempt without prompts. Use what happens to choose one next step, then stop.

For the structure behind these connections, read the eduKateSingapore runtime manifest and the eduKate ecosystem boot contract. The reader map describes public navigation; those manifests preserve the wider ownership and return rules.
