To meet these challenges, the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) seeks to strengthen the nation’s social fabric and build cohesion and resilience amongst Singaporeans. It achieves this by supporting and strengthening the main pillars of society – individual, family and community. Our programmes are designed to empower individuals to be socially responsible and self-reliant, while family life and values are emphasized to build strong and stable families. Young Singaporeans are rooted by engaging and involving them in national and community issues, while sports promotes national pride, bonding and a physically active society at all age levels.
