Our Strategies for Youth
MCYS adopts a 'Many Helping Hands' approach in youth development. We work with various government and non-government partners - such as the Ministry of Education, National Youth Council, National Council for Social Service, National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre, People's Association and various other agencies - to set and review national youth policy, as well as implement and coordinate programmes and initiatives.
 
MCYS' youth strategy hinges on the three 'S's
    Assist youth to develop a Stake in society by keeping them involved with the community, by catalyzing youth initiatives and volunteerism, and facilitating opportunities for youth to positively influence their environment
    Ensure that youth have a Say in national affairs and recognizing the contributions they can make, by involving them in the process of consultation
    Provide youth with the Support they need to develop and participate meaningfully in society, through facilitation, mentorship and other assistance mechanisms.
