ABOUT US
Every initiative starts with a small group of passionate people.
The HappYouth initiative was started by Character and Leadership Academy to equip youth with the skills and knowledge to navigate the world as future leaders of themselves and their peers.
By educating the youths of today, we can empower the leaders of tomorrow to be mentally resilient and self-aware and independently sustainable.
How do we build a community of mentally resilient youth? By first enabling them to find happiness.

Coping with Stress
There are effective frameworks and mechanisms to manage negative thoughts and emotions; knowing them might keep you on the right track when emotions run high.
Adventure Therapy
Research has shown that nature has its own way to teach us how to be tough mentally. Coupled with experiential learning, youth learn to come to senses with their thoughts and emotions in an outdoor setting.
During times of crisis, sometimes all we need is a helping hand or even a listening ear.
