The work with troubled youth began in 1983, in response to an increasing awareness of the presence of youths at risk in our housing estates, as Youth Guidance, a ministry department with Singapore Youth for Christ (SYFC).

​

Following that, in 1996, Youth Guidance Outreach Services (YGOS), was registered as an independent entity with its constitution, with the Registry of Societies. It gained membership with the National Council of Social Service (NCSS), and since 1997, enjoyed the status of an Institution of a Public Character (IPC).

​

As a Christian-value-based youth services organisation (YSO), we seek to reach out and help these young people integrate well with mainstream society, eventually adopting a lifestyle that positively contributes to their schools and community.
