What are you doing this Lunar New Year?
During CNY, many families come together to celebrate and spend time with one another. We’re excited to be with one another. However, this is not the case for many of our youth. Many of them dread this festive season because of their circumstances. Not every youth is able to celebrate CNY to its fullest due to many reasons most of us do not have to deal with, such as adverse family conditions, exhausting inner struggles that they battle with and many other difficult circumstances.
This CNY, help us make a difference in the lives of our youth. By contributing or pledging part of your ang pows, you can make a difference by supporting Trybe in our line of youth services and programmes. Thank you for sharing your festive blessings to help a youth in need.

For most of Trybe’s youth-clients, the virus is an additional worry and expense on top of their basic needs. Coming from low-income families, most of them have already been struggling to make ends meet and to cope with their inner battles even prior to the outbreak.
Everyday Hero is a call for us as a community to step up and find our own little ways to help the vulnerable youth during this difficult time. The virus may have caused some setbacks to our daily interaction with others, but it should not limit our ability to reach out to those we serve.
Your donation will help us provide care kits with essential needs, financial assistance for youths and their loved ones, and support our services for them. It will also help us continue our psycho-emotional support for them during this crisis.

Summary:
At-risk behaviours among youths are caused by external factors and internal conflicts. While external factors such as financial concerns, family issues, education and employment problems are relatively easier to detect, the youths’ internal conflicts must also be addressed. And to be able to tackle these less visible issues, we must encourage them to share their stories and let them know that it is OK2Talk.
OK2Talk is an initiative that primarily champions the overall wellness of the underserved youth. By donating to this campaign, you are supporting Trybe’s services and programmes that look after our clients’ emotional and mental well-being. Furthermore, your contribution will be doubled with the Bicentennial Community Fund.
Success Story
Tim (not his real name), lived in a challenging family environment. Tim’s divorced parents (who still stayed together) argued frequently, and he found himself turning to substances as a way to escape his circumstances.
Over several counselling sessions, Trybe’s Counsellor helped Tim process his emotions, eventually asking if he was open to clinical help. Tim agreed and was referred to a psychologist who diagnosed Tim with General Anxiety Disorder, allowing him to receive the proper treatment he needed.
If we are able to guide and convince the youths that it is okay to talk, half the battle would be won.

Gift A Hope: Small Steps, Big Impact (by Trybe Limited) is a call for us as a community to empower youths facing adversities. By guiding them and celebrating their small accomplishments, we are encouraging young people to push through their struggles and aim for a better future.
Your donation to this project will help us continue our services that improve personal, social, educational, and employment outcomes for underserved youths in Singapore.
Most of the youths that we serve come from low-income families and have little to no support in addressing their issues. As a result, they get into trouble and develop at-risk behaviours.
To prevent this, we help young people develop resilience and realise their full potential by setting and working towards realistic and practical goals; ONE STEP AT A TIME.
We provide educational, career, and psycho-emotional support, keeping them off the streets. Our work also extends to their families, ensuring that they are also supported and better equipped to help their children excel.
By believing in them and supporting them every step of the way, we are giving them hope… that no matter what their circumstances are, they can be a success story. Inspiring them to take the small steps that can make a big impact in their lives.

YOUR IMPACT
Adli came from a low-income family and had to depend on himself to make ends meet. At a very young age, he started committing crimes and was exposed to substance abuse. Eventually, he became addicted and was soon caught.

Rebuilding relationships
Sentenced to probation at the age of 16, Gene* decided to turn over a new leaf as soon as he realised how his past mistakes deeply affected his mother. She didn’t say much but he knew he caused her too much pain. Keen to make things right for his family, Gene sought help from Trybe to understand and control his aggressive behaviour.
Making better choices for the family
Kurt* found the motivation to change because of his family. It was during his rehabilitation programme with Trybe when he realised his father’s difficulties in supporting their family and his grandmother–who was recently diagnosed with cancer. With the encouragement and support from the Trybe staff, Kurt started to make better decisions to fulfill his dream of becoming a dependable man in the future.
Having a strong family support empowers youths like Gene and Kurt to pursue their success stories. Help more disadvantaged youths transform their lives and rebuild their relationships with their families this new year.

Summary:
Many of us enter the enhanced measures of Phase 2 with heightened uncertainties. For the young population, it is even greater.
Prior to the pandemic, countless youths have been facing different difficulties in life that may not be obvious to the eyes. From financial instability, to trauma and abandonment issues, many of the youths we serve developed behaviour that puts them and others at risk.
In Trybe, we journey with every youth identifying their needs–we care, we communicate, and we connect with them. With such empowerment, our youths can learn to be responsible for themselves, their families, and the community at large. Our services, comprehensive and intensive, include intervention, rehabilitation and reintegration.
As we countdown the days leading to our National Day, we invite our community to come together as one, giving our best and care for the future generation.
With your generous giving, the youths will receive the most urgent support and assistance they may need. We believe that together with your contribution, we will all emerge from this pandemic even stronger. #NDP2021

Summary:
Paul* was discharged from the hostel two months earlier because of his good behaviour. Now, he is taking up some courses in art and design. “One day, I hope to provide creative solutions to many brands that companies will be proud of,” he said.
Before Paul was sentenced to the hostel, he was living in anxiety, moving from house to house often. He never had a day’s rest and there wasn’t a place he would call home. His divorced mother was working hard, but was rarely around. At 14, he started feeding his curiosity for drugs and to earn quick cash, he started to sell the same substances he was abusing. Eventually the law caught up and he was sentenced to probation at the Singapore Boys’ Hostel, an institution managed by Trybe.
Stepping into the hostel marked his first change. He knew if he didn’t take a good chance, he could end up in jail. While he knew there would always be external influences, Paul had to fight them all to save himself. He knows life has its ups and downs. What matters is, to do his best and keep learning.
Join us as we celebrate youths like Paul this #YouthRising month. By donating $10 or more, masks will be given to the youths and their families, as a symbol of encouragement. In addition, your donation will contribute to Trybe’s services that provide utmost support for youths facing adversities. Each contribution will show them a ray of hope that they are remembered, cared for and they are part of a compassionate community.

Director, Services & Programmes

Grounded in empathy, experience, and evidence-based interventions, Esther’s clinical approach ensures that individuals receive the care and support they need to heal and thrive.
Now serving as the Director of Services and Programmes at Trybe, she provides leadership and oversight to strengthen service delivery, ensuring that programmes remain effective, sustainable, and client-centered.

Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future
