Groundup Day is a one-day activation experience for aspiring changemakers ready to turn care into action. 

Co-organised with YMCA Youth For Causes, this experience brings together passionate youths and emerging leaders who want to move from intention to impact. 

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to do something about this” – this is your starting point. 

At Groundup Day, you’ll explore four changemaking pathways — advocacy, education, befriending, or service delivery — and deep‑dive into the one that aligns most with your strengths and the kind of impact you want to make. By the end, you’ll have clarity on how to take your first real step into making real change.

Advocacy: For those who believe stories, voices, and collective awareness can shift attitudes and influence change. Learn how to mobilise communities, shape narratives, and rally support around causes that matter.

Befriending: Discover how you can offer social support that truly lighten the load for individuals and families in need. Journey alongside them with empathy and consistency and see how small, sustained actions can create meaningful impact. 

Education: Interested in teaching or empowering others? Learn how to design and facilitate workshops that respond to real community needs and adapt your approach to the audiences you care about. 

Service Delivery: Dive into how groundups design and run initiatives such as food distribution, essential supplies, and on-the-ground support – while ensuring safety, coordination, and sustainability. 

Whether you’re passionate about advocacy, education, befriending, or service delivery, Groundup Day helps you clarify your cause, choose your pathway, and take your first real step.
