PODZ
is a 12-month mentoring programme for youths leaving institutional care. As the youths complete their rehabilitation programme, support and encouragement are crucial for their successful reintegration into society. The mentoring programme aims to ease the transition of these youths into the community.
The objectives of the programme are:
- To provide a source of social support and connectivity for youths who are on their way to completing and/or who have completed their Court Orders;
- To encourage satisfactory completion of their Court Orders; and
- To help youths sustain their good progress and prevent re-surfacing or escalation of at-risk and negative behaviours (including dropping out of school, committal of offence, etc.) after completion of their Court Orders
Programme Components
- 12-month period
- Minimum twice a month mentoring sessions
- All sessions before youth is discharged will take place in the Home
- Sessions will take place on weekday evenings or weekends (only for selected Homes)
- After the youth's discharge, sessions can be held any time and anywhere at the convenience of both parties
- Group activities e.g. outdoor activities, movie outings, etc.
- Home visits (only when required)
