diversionary programmes
At YGOS, we seek to invest in the lives of the youths who come through our doors. We aim to ensure that youths are exposed to opportunities which allow them to explore and develop their self-discovered potentials. Together with their caseworkers and mentors, we hope to deliver a holistic service to our clients and youths.
