Description of Organization

Focus on the Family Singapore Limited is a local charity with Institution of a Public Character (IPC) status dedicated to helping families thrive.

We are committed to coming alongside youths, parents, couples and individuals with hope and help for parenting and marriage, so that they can wisely make important life choices that concern the Family. Through carefully developed strategic programmes, our vision is to see transformed families, communities and societies.

Since 2002, Focus on the Family has reached out to over 40,000 individuals annually through 400 impact programmes and services for the everyday family as well as specific vulnerable/needy groups, such as inmates, at-risk youth and children with special learning needs.

 

Intended use of funds through the YFC 2023 programme

Programmes such as FamChamps which helps building up family champions for tomorrow, by providing youths with a holistic experience and positive role-modelling of family, under the support of competent adult mentors, so that they can be our future leaders and the solutions to societal problems.

FamChamps also invest in our society’s future, by educating our youth on the importance of family and involving them to advocate for family from young, will enable them to demonstrate and promote these family values as adults, be it at their workplace, communities or future families.

We also intend to use funds raised for programmes empowering couples to have long lasting marriages, mitigating divorce rates, as well as initiatives to encourage parents to raise resilient and confident children and youth.

 

Engaging and involving the YFC participants

We will be more than happy to meet up with teams to introduce our work for families, and give tips on how to organise events championing our cause for families. We can also link teams up with our previous YFC teams (subject to their availability) who can share about their experience to help teams.
