Youth Drop-In Centres

The Experiential Learning and Mentoring Programme (ELMP) is a core programme in our preventive work held during drop-in sessions. It seeks to be a platform for positive engagement with youths aged 10-19, directing them towards healthy psychosocial activities and away from crime and other negative vices.

ELMP is an interest-based programme comprising group mentoring (iCan) and individual mentoring (iConnect) over 12 sessions.

Group Mentoring - During group mentoring, we help the youths develop group goals that aim to increase skill competency, and interpersonal relationships and foster group membership and activities. (ie a group of youths coming together to learn volleyball/basketball/gaming etc).

Individual Mentoring - For individual mentoring, we aim to develop personal goals that focus on increasing youth intrapersonal skills in areas such as personal identity, cognitive decision making and positive emotional regulation.

(i.e. exploring gaming addiction, relationships and boundaries, personal strengths and weaknesses etc).
