In 2000, Beyond crafted a vision that by the year 2025 “every child and youth in Singapore, despite a disadvantaged background has the opportunity to refuse a lifestyle of delinquency and welfare dependency.” This study conducted in 2012 reviewed the current lives of past beneficiaries to understand how Beyond affected their life experiences and whether there is progress being made towards the vision. While past youth’s lives are mostly stable, many other factors still pay a large role in their individual development. Our effects are subtle but still present in their memories.
