Founder’s Journey
John Yew
Founder, Managing Director, Encounters Services Pte. Ltd.
With an unwavering passion for youth development, John embarked on his journey at the age of 16, volunteering as a facilitator for a camp organized by an agency dedicated to At-Risk Youth. His commitment grew as he transitioned from part-time Youth Work Assistant to a full-time Youth Worker within the same organization.
Eager to deepen his insights into Youth Work, John furthered his career as a Secondary School Teacher, engaging with young minds in a different capacity. This experience solidified his dedication to empowering young individuals on their path to success.
Seeking a comprehensive understanding, John immersed himself in a residential home, delving into the fundamental challenges faced by today's youth. With over two decades of expertise in youth engagement, motivation, and teaching, John took the decisive step to establish Encounters Services.
As a Social Work graduate who did not begin as a business professional, John's focus is unequivocally on the well-being of the youth. Parents can rest assured that, at Encounters Services, our priority is not merely profit; it is a genuine determination to guide every young person towards learning, growth, and ultimate success in their lives.
