Green flag friends take plans out of the group chat, check up on you, and celebrate your wins before they appear on LinkedIn. ✅

Maintaining and navigating friendships may be challenging. However, with the right support and resources, that can be made easier — so keep a lookout for the launch of the SG Youth Plan later this year 👀

In the meantime, send this to your green flag friends to let them know who they are. 🫶

The older you get, the more you realise how much of your mother’s love exists in the small things. The reminders to eat, checking what time you'll get home, and knowing something's wrong before you say a word. 😌

To the mums who love us in a thousand quiet ways, Happy Mother’s Day! ❤️

On 24 April 2026, over 130 youths gathered to participate in a National Youth Dialogue titled ‘Adulting Unlocked: Achieving Life Milestones with Confidence’. Organised by the National Youth Council in conjunction with CPF Board and MoneySense, the dialogue equipped youths with the strategies and resources to plan their finances wisely.

We spoke to some youths who shared about their financial priorities, their key takeaways from the dialogue, and how the talks have influenced their spending habits!

At the Climate Change Conversation on 18 April 2026, youths heard from Coordinating Minister for National Security and Minister for Home Affairs, Mr K Shanmugam Sc, on how they can play an active part in Singapore’s climate journey. 💪

He shared that climate action isn’t just about joining the green economy, but there are also other meaningful opportunities for youths to step forward through programmes like the Climate Youth Development Programme (CYDP). The programme helps young people build a deeper understanding of climate and environmental challenges, while equipping them to contribute more effectively to solutions. 🌱
