MSF to pilot mentoring programme to support at-risk youths this year SINGAPORE — The Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) will pilot a mentoring programme to support at-risk youths this year, as well as expand efforts to help children living in rental flats and couples with marital issues. The mentoring programme expects to target 100 youths over two years, starting first with Institute of Technical Education (ITE) students who leave school prematurely and will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year, said Parliament Secretary for MSF Eric Chua on Friday (5 March) in Parliament during the ministry's Committee of Supply debate.
