The YEP is expecting exciting times ahead with the formation of a vibrant and experienced panel to spearhead the development of YEP. Comprising people with various expertise in overseas volunteerism, the panel will delve into developing youth involvement and strengthening capacity in international and local volunteerism.

Chaired by Mr Christopher de Souza, Member of Parliament for Holland-Buikit Timah GRC, the advisory panel includes representatives from educational institutions as well as those from the youth, public and corporate sectors. In line with YEP's interest to involve young working adults in the programme, corporate sector representatives have been roped in, such as Citigroup Asia Pacific, World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
