10 Best Places to Do Corporate Volunteer in Singapore

1. Singapore Cancer Society

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Lion’s City. As a result, the Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) aims to reduce the effects of cancer through research, screening, patient services, financial aid, and public awareness campaigns.
Your business can volunteer by donating to projects and fundraising activities like Festivities Cheer with a Heart, Race against Cancer, Sweet Home Project, and Relay for Life. These projects and events range from cleaning and refurbishing beneficiaries’ homes to working as ushers and preparing race packets.
In addition to volunteering, employees can use their skills to offer pro bono services like will writing, graphic design, estate planning, and more.

2. Touch Community Services

You can choose to volunteer as a group (corporate) or individual.

3. Food from the Heart

This organization is one of the best places to do corporate volunteering in Singapore. Volunteers get to work with partner businesses such as restaurants, bakeries, and hotels with the focused aim: of gathering surplus bread and other food items and distributing them to welfare communities. Aside from giving food, they also donate toys to disadvantaged children.
There are so many volunteer opportunities and roles available such as collecting and distributing the food items, warehouse logistics, sorting and packaging food, planning events, volunteering group or self-initiated projects, and helping out in fundraising.
We believe that Food from the Hearts not only helps in needy in Singapore but also helps the country reduce food wastage.

4. Club Rainbow

Here is an opportunity to work with children. We believe that nothing can beat seeing the smile, joy, and hope on a child’s face, and at Club Rainbow, you get to support and empower chronically-ill children and their families. This volunteer service is centered on providing a lot of commitment and compassionate related services to these children during regular visits, either at their homes or hospital.
There are so many volunteer roles to choose from, such as manning the food booth, helping the kids and families enjoy their day, mentoring and tutoring the kids, helping out during events, providing administrative and technical support, and more.

5. Make a Wish Foundation

Make a wish come true with volunteer service. This is the only wish-granting foundation in Singapore, aimed at meeting the wishes of children battling with life-threatening illnesses.
Opportunities include wish granting, fundraising, office administration, graphic designing, photography and videography, and planning special events for the kids.

6. Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2)

We have heard about volunteering to help the elderly, less privileged, animals, and more. However, we rarely hear about volunteering to help our fellow workers, such as construction workers. Therefore, it’s time to show support to our fellow workers.
Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2) is an organization that advocates for the rights of transient immigrant workers.
In this organization, you will be able to volunteer to help in various departments and help in raising funds to make the workers comfortable.

7. Aidha

What is the best way to help those who help us the most? The best way is by giving back to the millions of Singaporean women who make our lives easier. Are you into computers, financial management, entrepreneurship, or communication? Why not donate some of your time to Aidha and pass on your skills and knowledge to low-income Singaporean women and domestic workers?
Aidha is an organization that is dedicated to providing programs to women to help them achieve economic independence.
By volunteering, you share your knowledge and skills, and you can offer courses such as computer courses, financial literacy courses, money management, entrepreneurial lessons, and more. If teaching is not your area of expertise, you can volunteer in other roles, such as project and event planning, fundraising or research, ad-hoc projects, and more.

8. Singapore Red Cross

Volunteering in the Singapore Red Cross is so much more than just time spent. It is about bringing help to people with serious need for help. With a mission to reduce human suffering, the Singapore Red Cross Society is always looking for volunteers, regardless of their skill set, background, and experience.
You can help out with ambulance services, blood donation drives, fundraising projects, and help at the Red Cross Home for the Disabled.
This organization has other humanitarian causes as well, making their volunteering services the tip of the iceberg.

9. Habitat for Humanity

Habitat for Humanity is an internationally acclaimed organization that believes that everyone deserves to have a decent home environment to live in. They fight against poverty and help families live a better life by providing basic necessities, shelter, and other needs that will improve their living conditions.
As a volunteer, your business can help the less-fortunate families in Singapore achieve a comfortable living environment through participating in various activities to raise funds. You could also join the program called Project HomeWorks and a community clean-up called UnLitter Red Dot. Another way to be a part of the Habitat for Humanity project is by donating to support their cause.

10. MINDS

MINDS (Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore) is aimed at integrating intellectually disabled people and helping with their immersion into society.
