Resilience & Engagement

A digital concierge will empower citizens to seamlessly manage their own volunteering journeys – from discovery to action – by housing volunteering opportunities, keeping track of existing commitments and allowing for co-creation of projects for causes they are passionate about. This digital solution also automates manual tasks and allows for more efficient use of volunteer managers’ time.

Volunteer Centres

Resilience & Engagement

Based on two pilots in Bedok and Jurong that studied how to achieve greater impact with the help of volunteers, it was found that a dedicated effort was required to grow the number of volunteers, train them and better coordinate the demand and supply of volunteers to make a sustained impact within towns. Together with community groups, MCCY will establish Volunteer Centres (VCs) across Singapore to better address the needs of various towns.

Youth Corps-IHL Partnership

Resilience & Engagement, Youth

To inspire youths to sustain and grow their volunteering journey even after they enter IHLs and the workforce, the Youth Corps will train youth leaders and connect them to resources, opportunities and other community and sector partners to make volunteerism their way of life.

Corporate volunteerism efforts

Resilience & Engagement

To make it easier for companies to begin or strengthen their giving journey, NVPC will work with its network of partners to consolidate resources, toolkits and best practices in Corporate Social Responsibility to encourage more companies to give back in meaningful ways.

Seniors as a force for good

Resilience & Engagement

MCCY will work with community partners such as RSVP Singapore The Organisation of Senior Volunteers and the Centre for Seniors to engage older employees at the workplace and encourage them to volunteer.

MCCY will also scale up the “Retire with a Purpose” programme to encourage companies to champion active aging and introduce older employees to a structured volunteering journey based on their interests, time and goals.
