Fulfilling Youth Potential Through Mentorship

Through this class-based mentoring programme, we coach youths to boost their self-confidence and develop emotional resilience, enabling them to reach their full potential.  

We achieve this through a strengths-based approach, giving them the confidence to progress beyond their studies in ITE. 

How We Achieve Success with Youth

Engage: Foster trust and rapport with students through friendly interactions, motivating greater participation 

Enrich: Conduct workshops and activities that impart invaluable socio-emotional and life skills 

Mentor: Provide structured and unstructured mentorship through lunch engagements, group activities, one-on-one sessions, and internship guidance
