Our Programmes

Overview

Boys’ Town adopts a holistic approach in its care and development of the youths. Programmes have been developed to provide the youths with the opportunities to socialize, learn strategies and life skills to cope with the difficult situations and emotional trauma and discover their strengths and talents.

The structured programmes includes: sports, individual counseling, group work, family therapy, religious instruction, tuition and other co-curricular activities.

Boarding & Residential Services

We provide boarding and residential care for boys ages 11 – 18 who come primarily from large, troubled, single parent and financially needy families. We support the boys in our care to develop educationally, socially and physically by providing them with counseling, leadership training, sports, drama, music and hobby programmes as well as moral/religious instructions as part of their daily life.

Financial Assistance

We provide financial assistance to boys who come from financially needy homes which is verified by our Social workers. This funding assistance is to pay for their boarding, schooling & personal needs which include their personal basic amenities as well as school fees, books and pocket money.

Education & Training Programme

For our boys educational and training needs, we co-ordinate various tuition/coaching and skills based competency based training programmes. We also provide them with educational resources and facilities such as a library and computer room to encourage their interest in educational & skills acquisition. The aim is to provide the boys support not only for their schooling needs but also to equip them with some skills and certification that will help them find jobs when they move on from our institutional care.

Mentoring & Leadership Training

To help each boy develop and fully realize his abilities and potential, we organize various leadership and mentoring programmes which include local and international programmes such as Outward Bound School, Adventure Training and Service learning courses. Participation is these activities help to instill confidence and increase the boy’s self esteem and worth. It also helps them to discover themselves through the process and to encourage their development and sense of purpose and being.

To encourage the boys to keep healthy and fit, there are various sporting, social & recreational activities that are organized. This includes outdoor sports like basketball, football, in-line skating and archery as well as music, indoor games and other special interest activities such as Lion & Dragon Dancing.
