WHO WE ARE

Advisory is a fully youth-led nonprofit dedicated to empowering young Singaporeans to make informed career and further education choices.

Advisory’s work has been featured by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Senior Parliamentary Secretary Baey Yam Keng, as well as prominent media outlets like Channel NewsAsia, The Straits Times, Youth.SG, Berita, Rice Media, The Smart Local, Lianhe Zaobao and Lianhe Wanbao.
