Youth Stewards for Nature (YSN) is an annual youth development programme that invites youths aged 18 to 25 to explore and co-develop various City in Nature initiatives with NParks. With the support of NParks staff and partner mentors, you will work in teams to plan and implement a range of projects across the fields of community animal management and animal health; biodiversity and wildlife; and urban greenery. Projects span around 6 to 9 months, with some exceptions. 

​

You can look forward to gain industry-relevant experience in skillsets of their interest, including research and fieldwork; survey design and study; design and prototyping; and community events and outreach, while honing soft skills in communication, teamwork and leadership.  

​

You will be recognised as a Youth Steward for Nature at the programme’s closing event and awarded a certificate and YSN T-shirt. You can also qualify for accreditation under the National Youth Achievement Awards (NYAA) programme.
