1Malaysia for Youth, usually stylised as 1M4U or IM4U, is an initiative of the Malaysian government that encourage volunteering among Malaysian youth. It was founded by Prime Minister Najib Razak in 2012.[1]

History

The program launched in July 2012 and January 2013, the first group of twenty 1Malaysia ambassadors was announced.[2]

DRe1M

In addition to encouraging volunteering, 1M4U offers funds to youth volunteer organisations through the Dana Sukarelawan 1Malaysia (DRe1M) initiative. The funds are not disbursed in any set amount, but tend to be low as they are designed for community level organisations. In 2012 only RM200,000 out of the RM100,000,000 allocated to the program was used.[3]
