About Us

Formed in 1995, the National Committee on Youth Guidance and Rehabilitation (NYGR) addresses problems and issues related to juvenile delinquency in Singapore by:

• working with our partners to support youth-at-risk and help them find positive alternatives to crime and anti-social behaviour coordinating and reviewing existing intervention programmes to identify gaps
• leading collaborative research on youth-at-risk issues and the effectiveness of programmes
• developing a central system to facilitate data sharing across agencies
• working with social service agencies, self-help groups and other community organisations to develop programmes and build capabilities
• The Central Youth Guidance Office (CYGO) is the secretariat to the NYGR.

NYGR comprises agencies with a stake in reducing juvenile delinquency and youth crime. These include representatives from:

Our History

In 1994, an Inter-Ministry Committee on Dysfunctional Families, Juvenile Delinquency and Drug Abuse (IMC) was formed to study the problems and recommend solutions for these three areas.
