NATION BUILDING SCHOOL
We started our journey with a mission to build the next generation of civic warriors in Malaysia. But as we spoke to young people, we realised there was a bigger problem at hand: youth not in employment, education or training (NEET). The statistics validated their anxieties: youth unemployment is above 12% – triple the country's national unemployment. No thanks to the pandemic, there are over 400,000 unemployed youths and over 2.4 million underemployed Malaysians.
In response, we have run career workshops and leadership programmes, especially for the urban poor, single mothers and youth-at-risk. During the pandemic, we have launched virtual career workshops to support the people most affected. Since August 2015, Nation Building School is a social impact organisation that has engaged over 10,000 youths in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
