CARE CORNER - TECK GHEE YOUTH CENTRE
|
| |
 |
Care Corner - Teck Ghee Youth Centre operates programmes to help
needy youth so that they will receive the support necessary to get
them back on the right path in life.
Targeted at youth who tend to stray into at-risk and socially
unacceptable behaviour like drug-consumption, teen gangs and other
delinquent behaviour, our programmes reach out to students who are
still in school but may not be academically inclined and have little
parental supervision. Many are from needy, single-parent, or dualincome
homes whose parents work long hours, in order to make ends
meet.
Since the official opening of the Centre in late l999, a total of 1,013
beneficiaries have passed through our doors. We aim to keep youth off
the streets and prepare them for meaningful roles in society.
Core Programme: Evergreen Bees Mentoring Programme
A preventive and developmental programme that is made up of
meaningful, interactive enrichment sessions and holistic activities.
Targeted at children and youth (Primary 4 to secondary 5) who are at risk,
and often have little or no parental supervision, this Programme
incorporates tuition and supervised play-time with volunteer mentors.
Games include: tennis, badminton, and educational board games.
Other Services & Enrichment Programmes
• Case Work and Counselling
We offer counselling and casework for youth and their parents,
youth adventure & enrichment activities, free tuition for students
from needy homes and an after school drop-in programme.
• Free Tuition
We provide free tuition for students in upper primary (Primary 4-6)
and secondary level (from Secondary 1-4) from needy families as
well as various programmes to help them tackle the different
areas of their school curriculum. Tuition sessions are conducted
by student volunteers from various Junior Colleges as part of their
School's CIP obligations. Others are from tertiary Institutions and
various walks of life.
