Youth Expedition Projects (YEPs)

NP students travel across borders for Service-Learning trips and Youth Expedition Projects (YEP) where they work with an underserved community. These eye-opening experiences expand their worldview to better understand socio-economic issues and nurture them to be socially responsible, active citizens. Through such exposure, NP students develop confidence, resilience and leadership while understanding the importance of teamwork.

“YEP was a life-changing experience. It really opened up my eyes to situations and problems that I did not even know existed, and enabled me to experience a new culture first-hand. I also learnt that happiness can be found in little things. Despite living a simple life, many locals were happy, and this really made me appreciate what I have.”
