The aim of the National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) Programme
is to be a non-competitive programme that encourages and motivates
young people between the ages of 14 and 25 to develop personal qualities
of self-reliance, perseverance and sense of responsibility to themselves,
society and the nation.
The criteria for an Award are self-improvement and effort. You will
be judged on personal achievement measured against original circumstances
and potential capabilities. This allows for the less able and disadvantaged
to participate on an equal opportunity basis.
The NYAA Programme is completely voluntary. You choose activities
that you are interested in and complete them on your own free time.
The NYAA Programme is a framework designed to help young people like
you improve your character and personality. It is essentially a do-it-yourself
kit for youth development.
The NYAA Programme is a marathon, not a sprint and for each level
minimum requirements are set. Participants can exceed the minimum
requirements, but they cannot do less than the minimum requirements.
The minimum time period to complete the Gold level is 18 months.
Each participant has until his or her 25th birthday to complete the
programme.
Nanyang Polytechnic, as one of the NYAA Operating Authorities, will
provide guidance and supervision to ensure that the NYAA participants
will be able to complete their programme successfully.
