More Than An Internship
The Youths for Autism (YFA) Internship Programme offers students, fresh graduates, and aspiring professionals a meaningful autism internship in Singapore. Through hands-on experience, professional mentorship, and authentic workplace learning, you will gain valuable skills while supporting autistic individuals across education, employment, and community settings.
We believe an internship should go beyond building a résumé. It should inspire personal growth, nurture empathy, and create opportunities to contribute with purpose. Through guidance from experienced professionals and real-world learning, you will develop valuable skills while gaining a deeper understanding of autism and inclusion.
