Abstract: Youth-to-youth engagement develops as well as enhances sense of belonging, autonomy and power control, competence, motivation and decision-making skills. Millennial youth are self-learned generation; thus, peer influence is vital. Based on these premises, GENIUS Remaja programmes are created ‘with youths’ rather than ‘for youth’. GENIUS Remaja programmes have proven to be effective and produced positive results for the participants. Empowerment of youth through personal development trainings as well as participation in addressing community needs help them to become empathic and reflective individuals. Besides that, the programmes instilled good work ethics to ensure success in their future careers. Aspects of rethinking behaviour modification and intervention among reckless bikers (Mat Rempit) via youth-to-youth engagement in positive activities will be explored and shared in this article.
