The GRIT Project

The GRIT Project (TGP) is a Children and Youth Centre that runs programmes in Jurong West and Jurong East. It nurtures a caring generation to serve the community and addresses the needs of disadvantaged children and youths aged 7 to 17. Our staff and volunteers instil GRIT values in young people – Grace, Respect, Integrity, and Tenacity – all of which lead to grit!

TGP provides a safe space for self-discovery and empowerment for young people so they can grow to be confident, competent, connected, caring, and of good character.
