About TOUCH Youth

Our ‘Vision 2010' aims to transform youths in Singapore and beyond, by establishing ‘institutions of values' in 3 major areas:

1. TOUCH Cyber Wellness & Sports

We aim to promote cyber wellness amongst the youths through our CRuSH (Cyberspace Risks and where U Seek Help) programmes. Through school-based roadshows, workshops and mentoring programmes, young people are taught to adopt cyber wellness values in their usage of the internet. Log on to www.planetcrush.org to find out more.

Through programmes conducted at PlanetCRuSH Cyber Wellness Centre, we promote relevant parenting skills in the internet age and counsel youths and families on internet-related issues. Through its GamesLab, we also aim to promote healthy gaming habits.

Our qualified coaches (basketball, tennis & soccer) and trainers engage youths in developing character through competitive and recreational sports programmes.

2. TOUCH Leadership & Mentoring

We seek to impact youths to utilise their potential and develop their leadership qualities through mentoring and Service-Learning. Our key Service-Learning programmes are:

  • Compassionate Leader Always Serving Society (CLASS), youths learn important values and lessons on teamwork, leadership quality and life skills as they implement Service-Learning projects. Training is conducted either through a 3-day 2-night residential camp or a series of workshops.
  • Project SMILE (Sharing Magic In Love Everywhere) trains youths in the art of performing magic to bring cheer to the needy and disadvantaged in our communities. We also conduct lifeskills, sexuality and character development programmes to build the self-esteem of youths and to help them to better manage their lives, such as I Am Able and Sex & Sensibility.

    Through TOUCHLine 1800-3772252, we seek to empower youths to be more effective in managing life issues. This helpline is available from Mondays to Saturdays, 10am to 10pm.

    3. TOUCH Youth Learning Centre

    Out-of-school youths need not give up their dreams. At TOUCH Youth Learning Centre, we offer youths a second chance in education. Early school leavers between the ages of 15 and 19 can join TOUCH Youth Learning Centre to attain the GCE "O" levels. Our class has no more than 20 students so that we can better meet the needs of each student. With a team of dedicated teachers and staff, we are fully committed to working with the students to help them achieve their academic goals. TOUCH Youth Learning Centre is also a place where the youths can acquire lifeskills that will help bring about positive changes in their lives.
