What We Offer

CARE’s services include school-based programs, teacher training, counselling services and consultancy.

School-Based Programs

CARE serves schools through its Uth Power! Program for secondary schools, StarKidz! program for primary schools, Sports Power! program, and customised workshops like PowerXpress! and SuperCharged!.

1. Uth Power!

This umbrella program comprises a comprehensive range of school-based activities both in and out of the classroom setting. It includes:

PowerCharged!

A systematic and structured year-long curriculum (now available for Sec 1 to Sec 4) designed at empowering students for principled living and seeks to:

• excite students with their own abilities and potential, raise their self esteem, mutual respect and hope
• train students in basic life management skills such as anger management, problem-solving, communication, and conflict resolution
• help students develop study skills such as concentration, time management, memory techniques, and learning styles

Heart2Heart

CARE's counsellors interact with students in one-on-one sessions. Parents and teachers are engaged as and when necessary to help achieve desired results.

PowerCharged! Success Club

A co-curricular activity-based club organised for students and graduates of our PowerCharged! classes. This club focuses on helping students soar to greater heights either academically or through other goal-oriented activities.

Camp Synergy 1+1=3

A four-day camp where junior college and polytechnic youths, adult volunteers and mentors are matched with PowerCharged! students. Here, the power of role modelling is tapped to help students adopt positive lifestyles and be proactive change agents in their respective families, school and community.

Mentoring Scheme

Adult professionals are matched as mentors who give guidance, coaching and advice on academic, career and life issues to our students.

Success Opportunities

CARE’s sponsors and corporations occasionally provide opportunities for our students to participate in different experiences and thus increase their exposure and learning. Past opportunities include circus shows, ballet and dramas, and also outdoor adventure training and overseas expeditions.

2. StarKidz!

StarKidz! is a power-packed program tailored for primary-school children, to empower and bring out the best in each child. As children learn best through play, StarKidz! uses games, songs, puppetry, stories and crafts to bring the lessons across to the children. Consisting of various modules, it aims to do the following for each child:

• instill self-esteem and a positive attitude towards self and others;
• teach appropriate social skills and reinforce good virtues, such as respect, truthfulness, etc.;
• help them discover their abilities and be motivated to realise their full potential;
• equip them with the ability to make good choices;
• nurture a considerate mind towards others; and
• assist them to master life's challenges, in order to better manage childhood stress.

3. Sports Power!

This is a lifeskills motivational program which employs the medium of sports. It is targeted at students who wish to achieve success in the sporting arena. CARE aims to mould this desire to fruition while simultaneously shaping these youths with positive attributes.

4. Customised Workshops

CARE can tailor workshops that cater to the needs of targeted students as defined by the school. For example we have conducted the PowerXpress! and SuperCharged! workshops aimed at enhancing students’ effectiveness in the home, school and social settings. We have also run anti-smoking and smoking cessation workshops and camps.
