Youth Service
Allkin Singapore's youth service harnesses the potential of youth aged between 10-21 years old, with a focus on uplifting at-risk youths.
What We Do
Allkin Singapore's youth service harnesses the potential of youth aged between 10-21 years old, with a focus on supporting youths who may be facing various challenges. Through youth programmes in Singapore, including casework, counselling, and groupwork, we enable youths and their families to overcome challenges in mental health, substance use, sexuality, offending behaviours, and relationships.
Allkin Singapore, appointed by the Ministry of Social & Family Development, leads youth programmes in Singapore, serving as the Integrated Service Provider of diversionary programmes to support at-risk, offending, or troubled youths. The centre also uplifts youths through Club Infinity, a membership-based preventive and developmental programme that builds confidence and creativity.
How We Enhance & Enrich Lives
Integrated
Service Provider
Triage
This system aims to help identify and divert youth offenders from the criminal justice system through upstream work by conducting interviews with the youths and their parents to assess their risk of re-offending and identify their support systems to determine appropriate intervention.
Guidance Programme
The six-month diversionary Guidance Programme aims to support youths who have committed minor offences. It offers those who complete the programme successfully a warning in lieu of court prosecution.
Guidance Programme-PAST (GP-PAST)
GP-PAST is designed for low-risk youth aged 12 to 18 years old who have committed sexual offences and builds upon the core modules of the Guidance Programme with the addition of offence-specific modules to target risk factors associated with sexual offending.
Youth Enhanced Supervision
The six-month structured programme, designed to help first-time youth drug offenders aged below 21, includes regular counselling and family sessions in addition to the urine supervision regime conducted by CNB. Through counselling and family sessions for troubled youth, we aim to foster personal growth and facilitate the development of coping strategies to navigate life challenges.
Specialised Programmes
Youth Sexuality
YOUth matters, a sexuality programme under the Health Promotion Board that we run to support youths through equipping them with life skills to make informed decisions concerning sex, raise awareness of STIs/HIV and pregnancy prevention, encourage less permissive attitudes towards casual sex, and promote abstinence and/or secondary virginity.
Club Infinity
Club Infinity (CI) is a membership-based programme that aims to enhance youth's mental wellness and resiliency, and provide opportunities for them to tap into their innate strengths and assets to become active contributors in the community. Using Positive Youth Development (PYD) approaches, CI provides youths with opportunities to realise their fullest potential in a safe and supportive environment.
CI engages youths in the community with the goal of uplifting them towards self-discovery. To do so, we mobilise community partners and volunteers to help youths achieve the PYD framework's key qualities of competence, connection, confidence, character, caring and contribution. Learn more here.
Heartship
Run collaboratively with our Family Service Centre @ Ang Mo Kio 230, Heartship is a curated art programme that aims to unlock participants' confidence through self-expression and identity exploration. By guiding youths towards creating art across various mediums, the programme fosters a sense of mastery and enables them to encapsulate their emotions and experiences.
