TOUCHpoint@Marine Parade
TOUCHpoint@Marine Parade is a community space designed to support youths and Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in making connections and reaching their full potential.
Developing Impactful Communities for Youths and Persons with Disabilities
Launching in early 2026, TOUCHpoint@Marine Parade aims to foster enabled communities for youths and Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) within the Marine Parade cluster constituencies through meaningful engagement, volunteerism, and employment support.
As a vibrant engagement hub, the centre supports youths through mentoring, volunteerism, hands-on interest group activities, soft skills training and vocational exposure. PwDs can also receive support to sustain gainful employment through job coaching, matching and on-the-job training.
The hub will also serve as a platform to connect individuals, families, and community partners to essential social services.
