About us
Youth Guidance Outreach Services (YGOS) is a non-profit, charitable organisation that has been serving youths in the community since 1996.
To make sure that every youth who comes through our doors receives the care and support that they deserve.
YGOS is registered as an independent entity with its constitution, together with the Registry of Societies. We are an Institution of Public Character (IPC) and a member of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS).
YGOS programmes are based on 3 fundamental pillars: Youth-centric, theory-based and fun! Our Social Work professionals aim to support every youth to reach their potential through timely preventive, early intervention and remedial programmes, which are led by research, theories, experience and professional excellence.
Preventive
Programmes that seek to be a platform for positive engagement with youths, directing them towards healthy psychosocial activities and away from crime.
Developmental
Aims to accelerate youth's developmental processes through building their competencies, skills and abilities such that they can grow and flourish throughout life.
Remedial
Targeted at referred individuals who need guidance in the strengthening of their internal resources to overcome adversity, see improvement in decision or coping skills.
Rehabilitation
Our work at the Community Rehabilitative Centre to facilitates community reintegration of underage drug offenders through holistic engagement that restores lives, reducing the risk of internal or external stressors.
What We Do
Donate and Support Us!
Our fundraising campaign addresses the recent rise of vaping among youths.
Behind every vape is a youth facing pressure, stress, or confusion. With your help, we can reach them before it's too late.
​
We need support and resources to tackle this growing concern, and taking action now is crucial to prevent further harm to the health and well-being of our youths in Singapore.
Our campaign seeks to raise funds for:
1. Resources to provide early intervention for youths and parents seeking help, helping the youths to avoid negative influences or choices.
2. Funding for iHOPE Programme - providing resources for early intervention group work for students with mental health issues (both in schools and our community)
3. Funding to host activities and events as a way to support youths by channeling their energies into more positive outlets.
Help us create safe spaces and support networks for youths as they navigate life’s challenges.
*Please note that any surplus funds raised from the campaign will go towards supporting the organisation’s operational needs.
