Each month, we get together to discuss ideas and activities to support youths. We weave entrepreneurship into our work to teach them values and skills.We've started this initiative called the Reactor Parent Network (RPN) to empower parents with entrepreneurship skills because when the right elements are brought together in the right environment, a reaction occurs.Through this Meetup, we hope to inspire discussions with parents, and accompany you on your journey as we nurture youths and support them in their personal and professional development, as they grow to be independent, resilient, and above all, contributing members to society.FAQsAm I allowed to bring my children with me?Yes! We encourage you to bring your child/children for this session. Learning is best done together!What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?The nearest stop by train is Orchard MRT station.How can I contact the organizer with any questions?Please direct your questions to hi@reactor.sg Updates tag:peatix.com,2017-04-13 09:03:41 2017-04-13 09:03:41 The event description was updated.
