We are thrilled to kick off the very first episode of our Youth Matters series on Conversations of Change! This new series spotlights young people who are driving meaningful social impact in Singapore and we couldn’t have chosen a more inspiring story to begin with.
In our debut episode, featuring Aarav and Dylan, the co-founders of Expedition Joy, a youth-led initiative dedicated to creating memorable birthday celebrations for children and seniors. What started as a simple idea between two friends has blossomed into a movement of kindness, connection, and community-building.
A Journey Rooted in Compassion
During the conversation, Araav and Dylan open up about how Expedition Joy first began, the early challenges they faced from fundraising hurdles to learning how to work as a team and the heartwarming moments that remind them why their mission matters. Their stories reflect the resilience and sincerity that define many youth-led projects today.
Small Acts, Big Impact
Beyond their personal journey, the episode also shares practical ways for listeners to get involved. Whether you’re interested in volunteering, contributing resources, or supporting their expanding efforts, there are many ways to help spread joy to more communities across Singapore.
Why Youth Voices Matter
Youth Matters aims to showcase how young people are not just future leaders. They are already creating change in real and powerful ways. Expedition Joy is a beautiful example of what happens when passion meets purpose, and when empathy is turned into action.
If you’ve ever wondered how youths can spark meaningful social impact, this episode offers a heartfelt and hopeful glimpse into the possibilities.
