Experiential Learning and Mentoring Programme (ELMP)

Youth Guidance Outreach Services (YGOS) operates Youth Drop-In Centres offering a preventive, interest-based Experiential Learning and Mentoring Programme (ELMP) for youths aged 10–19.

• Provides a safe, welcoming space with structured group and individual mentoring to steer youths toward healthy psychosocial activities and away from crime and negative influences.
• Group mentoring (iCan) focuses on shared goals, teamwork, interpersonal skills, and building group identity through activities like sports and gaming.
• Individual mentoring (iConnect) supports personal growth in areas such as identity, decision-making, and emotional regulation (e.g., addressing gaming habits, boundaries, strengths/weaknesses).
• Facilities and activities include table tennis, foosball, pool, board games, PS5/FIFA, tchoukball, badminton, art materials, musical instruments, projector for shows, and basketball.
• Centres host volunteer-led creative and DIY sessions, celebrate youth milestones like birthdays, and emphasize sports to encourage leadership and teamwork.
• Drop-in sessions run on set days and times at centres in Woodlands, Ang Mo Kio, and Jurong, providing consistent, accessible engagement for youths.
