Founded in 1948 by the Montfort Brothers of St. Gabriel, Boys’ Town is a non-profit social service agency in Singapore dedicated to empowering vulnerable and at-risk children and youth. Our organisation provides holistic, integrated care through services such as residential services, fostering, respite care, youth outreach, adventure-based therapy, and clinical intervention.
Many of the children and youth we serve come from disadvantaged or disengaged families and have faced hardship arising from financial struggles, neglect, abandonment, or abuse. Through personalised case management, therapeutic support, and educational opportunities, we help them regain stability, rebuild self-worth, and develop the resilience to become responsible and contributing members of society.
As a social service agency, Boys’ Town serves children, youth, and families who require structured care and guidance to overcome adversity. Each group we work with faces distinct challenges, and our programmes are designed to meet their individual needs through appropriate intervention and sustained support.
As a non-profit charity organisation, Boys’ Town provides children, youth, and families with structured programmes that focus on care, education, and early intervention. Our approach centres on helping each individual develop practical life skills, emotional awareness, and positive connections through consistent guidance and professional support.
We run mental wellness initiatives, community outreach, and therapeutic interventions that equip youth with the tools to navigate life’s challenges safely and responsibly. Every programme is supported by trained social service professionals who work closely with schools, caregivers, and partners to ensure coordinated care.
We provide our clients with opportunities to socialise and to learn strategies and skills to cope with their traumas and life.
We invite you to join our non-profit organisation in making a lasting impact on the lives of children and at-risk youth through donations and volunteerism.
If you have a few dollars to spare, no matter the amount, your support can make a big difference. Your generosity helps create opportunities and hope for at-risk youth and children, shaping a brighter future for them.
Become part of our volunteer team and make a meaningful impact. By joining us, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with youth and children through a variety of services, helping them overcome challenges and build a more hopeful future.
We thank the following donors for building the futures of more than 2,000 children and youth we serve yearly.
We provide a youth shelter for boys aged 10 to 21 from disadvantaged backgrounds, including those from dysfunctional families or in need of shelter, protection, or guidance. The programme supports boys who have been abused, neglected, or are in conflict with the law, offering a safe and nurturing environment to help them rebuild their lives.
Our Clinical Intervention service offers personalised counselling and therapy within a safe and confidential environment. Each intervention is carefully tailored to the unique needs of children and youth, adopting a holistic approach that addresses their emotional, psychological, and behavioural challenges. This comprehensive care helps foster healing and growth, enabling them to overcome their obstacles effectively.
Our youth outreach service connects with children and at-risk youths who have fallen through the cracks due to challenging life circumstances. Our Youth Workers and Clinical team members collaborate to foster personal development and strengthen educational and vocational skills, empowering our clients to build self-efficacy, pursue education and employability, and become positive contributors to Singapore society.
Our fostering service provides temporary, nurturing homes for children whose biological families are currently unable to provide the necessary care for them. This service ensures each child receives individualised attention to meet their needs mentally, physically, and emotionally, fostering a stable and supportive environment for their development and well-being.
Our Sanctuary Care offers respite care services to provide temporary relief for families experiencing crises. By ensuring that children receive nurturing care within a safe, family-based environment, we help alleviate the pressures on families, allowing them to regroup and stabilise, thereby supporting the overall well-being of each family member.
Our Adventure Centre employs experiential learning and adventure-based therapy to engage and support children and youth who may not benefit from traditional interventions. This innovative approach utilises challenging, yet safe activities to foster resilience, teamwork, and personal growth, helping participants learn critical life skills in a dynamic and supportive environment.
Our mental health awareness programme for children and youth is supported by our Clinical Intervention, YouthReach, Adventure Centre, and Sanctuary Care services to help build resilience and promote overall mental wellness among children and youth. This holistic approach ensures that each individual receives tailored support that fosters emotional growth, coping skills, and a strong sense of community well-being.
