Founder, The Wicker Club & Co.

Chia Zhao Wei

Where community starts with conversation and change begins with showing up. Chia Zhao Wei leads the Boon Lay Youth Network, a safe, energising space for passionate young people to explore ideas, voice issues, and drive ground-up change in their neighbourhood.

From small acts of care to large-scale community projects, Zhao Wei believes in creating platforms where youth can step up, grow, and lead with purpose.

His greatest lesson? Perseverance. Community work isn’t always glamorous, but it’s the grit to keep going especially when it gets tough because that drives real impact.
