Gerard Ee spearheads Singapore's Beyond Social Services, an organisation that rallies and activates service-users, their support networks and the community to support disadvantaged young people move beyond their poverty-related problems.
Gerard started out as a youth worker mentoring youths-at-risk on the streets of Bukit Bo Swee and later trained as a family therapist. After more than 30 years of service, Gerard has become a firm believer that social work is not simply problem-solving but a peace-building process that engages people to live the values of compassion, social justice and community.
