The programme is initiated by Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and maritime sector partners like the Singapore Maritime Foundation (SMF) to identify youths who are passionate about maritime-related issues and are willing to champion a maritime movement among their peers. MPA will support you to engage and excite your peers on the exciting developments and opportunities within MaritimeSG, and become part of this vibrant sector.

We are seeking full-time students below 30 years of age at a local institute of higher learning (e.g. Universities, Polytechnics, Institutes of Technical Education, etc.). If you have a keen interest in the maritime sector, and are a confident, dynamic, strong communicator and leader, you are who we are looking for!

We believe this will be a deeply rewarding opportunity for you to be the face of MaritimeSG! You will be invited to exclusive international maritime events with first-hand exposure and networking opportunities with top business and maritime thought leaders. You will also get to participate in exclusive learning journeys to restricted maritime facilities. Youth Ambassadors would go through an onboarding programme across different maritime domains to prepare you for the leadership journey.

All these are geared to give you a specially curated sneak peek and head-start into the vibrant maritime industry, enriching your experiences beyond classroom learning and academic pursuits. To recognise your leadership, you will receive a Certificate of Appointment and Achievement at the start and upon successful completion of the programme!

Term: 2 years
Throughout your term, you will have opportunities to participate in a variety of events. To enrich your learning experience, you will have to attend at least two maritime-related engagement events each year. We also encourage you to share key takeaways with your peers, such as through social media or other platforms.

Be part of the movement that builds excitement around the maritime industry. With support from MPA, you can organise outreach events for your peers, including access to maritime professionals and funding support (subject to terms and conditions). Team up with fellow Youth Ambassadors or partner your school clubs and societies to create impact through workshops, career talks, learning journeys, digital campaigns, sustainability projects, and other creative initiatives.
