Abstract

This community service project is a collaborative initiative between Petra Christian University and ROSC Singapore, designed to empower Christian youth through vision-based management mentoring. The program aims to equip participants with essential managerial, entrepreneurial, and leadership skills rooted in Christian values. A series of workshops and personal coaching sessions, facilitated by academics and industry practitioners, provided opportunities for participants to explore life vision, career choices, creativity, innovation, communication, conflict management, and servant leadership. The outcomes demonstrate the potential of building a sustainable mentoring ecosystem that nurtures future leaders who are transformative, resilient, and socially impactful. This initiative serves as a strategic model for developing Christian youth leadership with both spiritual and global relevance.
