About Us (True Hearts)

True Hearts Connection Mentoring & Befriender Scheme (“the Scheme”) is held in partnership with the BP Mentoring Program.

It is not just another organisation but a social movement. Its spirit is fired by the belief that young people could and should be Warm, Open, Dynamic and Caring. Through mentoring, training and exposure, the Scheme provides an avenue for their potential to be realised and their worth to be affirmed. This helps them to find a purpose and direction in life. With these young people, it aims to reach out and serve the less privileged of the society.

This Scheme aims to pair school pupils (mentees) with student volunteers (mentors) and is developed to address the needs of mentees with positive role models and to increase their awareness of what further and higher education can offer them.

Mentors play the role of befrienders who aim to make friends with mentees possessing below-average academic results. These mentees are mainly from families with an income of less than $2,000 and need proper guidance.

Through building of friendship, sharing of life, and listening to problems encountered, befrienders hope to provide guidance and inspirations to the mentees and help mould them into people of value to the society.

In 1997, we started the Scheme with Victoria Junior College as the pioneer college and Temasek Secondary School, as the first mentee school. In 1998, we see growth as Tampines Junior College joined the scheme with more than thirty mentors. We were able to reach out and serve more mentee schools such as Bedok West Primary School, Springfield Secondary School and Ngee Ann Secondary School.

This Scheme is officially recognised by the National Youth Council as well as National Youth Achievement Awards Board and is supported by BP Singapore.
