Deputy Director
Head, Community & Youth Services Division
Amos is responsible for leading the development of holistic youth programmes and services provided by Trybe. These services include outreach and intervention for at-risk youth, and rehabilitation and reintegration for ex-offenders.
Amos is accredited by the Singapore Association of Social Workers as a Social Service Practitioner. Prior to joining Trybe, Amos worked with at-risk youth, conducted school-based social work, and ran leadership programmes as well as camps at TOUCH Youth (Leadership & Mentoring) for five years. He’s also a trained facilitator in Experiential Learning and led teams on overseas service-learning projects.
Amos’ passion to work with young offenders started in 2010, the year he joined Trybe. He has never looked back since. With more than five years of experience working in rehabilitation work with youth probationers in Trybe as the previous Head of the Singapore Boys’ Hostel, Amos has had opportunities to champion rehabilitation work and its approach in Trybe, roll out new initiatives and establish the institution’s processes and structure. He was also involved in the implementation of Restorative Practices into Trybe’s institutional rehabilitation approach, where it focuses on restoration of relationships and building accountability in our youth, to make them realise the consequence of their actions on others, as opposed to having a punitive approach.
Aside from the caring and trusting work environment, Amos feels that Trybe has a progressive culture championed by its leadership team. Trybe’s forward-looking vision challenges him to constantly expand his capabilities and hones his skills.
In his free time, Amos enjoys spending time with his family’s new addition, a baby girl, and his wife.
