YMCA Project Bridge
 Established in 1999, YMCA Project Bridge is a one-stop centre with programmes that cater to both out-of-school youths (OSYs) and youth-at-risk (potential OSYs).
The programmes aim to keep these youth out of harms way and in turn provides a bridge that draws them in, befriend them, believe in them, tune their conduct/attitude and help them to develop a sense of purpose in life, so that they make a commitment to return to mainstream schooling or seek skills to secure a livelihood when they become adults. Moulding them to become useful members of the community. |
