How can my green club support NEA’s YES Programme?

Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) and Green clubs can support NEA’s YES Programme by organising your own environmental activities and projects, in support of the national Youth for Environmental Sustainability (YES) Programme. These are encouraged to be in line with the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and related to NEA’s topics (e.g. Zero Waste, Recycling, Energy Efficiency, Climate Change). IHLs and Green Clubs can seek usage of the YES logo through NEA’s Point-of-Contact or through this form.
