MY Mentoring Programme 3 (MY MP3)- empowering through mentoring

MY MP3 stands for Metropolitan YMCA Mentoring Programme for Body, Mind and Spirit. Started in 2008, MY MP3 is a school-based mentoring tuition programme which offers academic aid and holiday camps to underachieving students from neighborhood primary schools. The Mentors are student volunteers selected carefully from Junior Colleges, undergraduate’s students from universities and ex-teachers to instill the MYMCA core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility for character development. This mentoring programme is offered at a nominal cost to underachieving students including many of whom come from low-income families and could not afford to engage tutors.

As an intervention and preventive programme, MY MP3 aims to
• Befriend the young students by providing holiday activities;
• Mentor and help them with their school work by providing low cost tuition;
• Develop these young students to their fullest potential by imparting positive values and building their character.
