• To cultivate the artistic talents of youths with special needs
• To provide a safe, open and nurturing environment where their talents can thrive
• To implement effective training programmes and support services that benefit their holistic development
• To develop a sustainable model of supported employment for these youths

Our programmes enable our youths with special needs to continue their mastery of visual arts – namely batik painting and pottery – in a creative and inclusive environment, paving avenues for self-expression and personal development.

Through the programme, our youths with special needs will learn to uphold proper decorum and assimilate concepts such as service attitude, work quality, punctuality, task completion, handling of job load and time management.

Besides equipping our youths with special needs with essential life skills, this programme also creates supported employment opportunities by leveraging on commissioned projects and retail sales to help fund supported employment, thereby empowering them with hope and dignity.

Support services available:

• Corporate Social Responsibility programmes
• Social development and life skills training
• Caregivers’ Support

Individuals who have developed essential life skills have successful secured open employment opportunities in the food and beverages services, social and personal services and sales and administration sector.

Our retail section tucked away in a cosy corner of Metta Café features a wide variety of merchandise from healthy juices, snacks, cereals and beverages to our wide selection of batik art painting and exquisite pottery pieces handcrafted by our talented Metta School Alumni youths with special needs.
