Life Skills
Group Lifeskill Sessions are held to give the youths an opportunity to share and discuss life issues, such as peer pressure, stress management and inter-personal relationships.
Expeditions
Expeditions are organised to help youths relate to the obstacles and challenges they face in their daily lives, and encourage them to work towards their dreams and goals in life.
Community Service Projects
Community service projects help the youths broaden their insights and widen their scope of experiences outside their familiar homeground, and promote an altruistic and compassionate spirit in the youths.
CWS-BT YouthReach is a joint youth outreach project by Catholic Welfare Services (CWS) and Boys' Town to serve the youths in our community. Part of the services of CWS-BT YouthReach includes a drop-in centre in Tampines which aims to provide a sense of purpose and direction, and to inculcate values in the lives of the youth. CWS-BT YouthReach also offers comprehensive services to reach out to youths at risk and help them utilise their strengths and resources to achieve their desired goals and provides services such as counselling, home visits, and life skills workshops to various schools and organizations.
The drop in centre in Tampines was set up originally in 1999 as a drop-in centre for Youths-At-Risk by the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary (FMM), and was called the Poverello Teen Centre (PTC) to help youths develop their potentials and skills.
As of June 2009, Catholic Welfare Services and Boys' Town collaborated to expand the services of the CWS youth arm and formed CWS-BT YouthReach. Through its various programmes, students learn values of self-worth, discipline and responsibility that prevent and reduce delinquency.
