Objectives:

The Youth Health Ambassador Badge Programme is a joint collaboration between St John Brigade (SJB) and Health Promotion Board (HPB). The objective of the programme is to create awareness among cadets on the importance of healthy lifestyle, and encourage them to be active advocates of spreading important and positive health messages  within their school and beyond the school community.

Programme Deliverables:

1.   Participants are required to undergo a half-day training workshop, which will equip them with essential knowledge on the key health messages from HPB and other key relevant skillsets on project management, communication and social media skills, in order for them to work on their advocacy project and activities.

2.   After the workshop, participants will work on an advocacy project to launch a health awareness campaign within their school or beyond the school community. The campaign shall be in conjunction with the Annual St John Day Celebrations in schools in early July every year. Exact details on the timeframe will be released to the participants during the workshop.
