Mentoring / Project YOUth Can Shine

Project YOUth Can Shine

Project YOUth Can Shine (PYCS) provides holistic assistance to families under the CDAC Family Assistance Programme.  This is done by guiding their lower secondary school children in their schoolwork and helping them to realise their potential by building on their competencies.

 Volunteers will tutor and mentor the students during weekly sessions to support them in their schoolwork. They will also organise activities to provide exposure beyond the classroom and build competencies through experiential learning.

Families are supported through talks and workshops on parenting, healthy living and financial literacy. Family bonding activities are also organised to foster family cohesiveness and strengthen the parent-child relationship.
