Volunteer – Be the Spark in Someone’s Story

You do not need special skills or experience to make a difference–you just need to show up. At MINDS, your time, compassion and presence help build inclusive communities where persons with intellectual disability (ID) are seen, heard and celebrated.

Volunteering with us goes beyond simply giving your time. It’s helping someone feel safe in a new environment, guiding them through a sports activity, sharing a laugh during art class, or cheering them on at a community event. Every moment you spend becomes a part of something meaningful, for them and for you.

If you’re looking for meaningful volunteering opportunities and a chance to be the spark in someone’s story, this is where it begins.

Volunteering Opportunities

Service-Based

Build meaningful connections through befriending activities, assist clients with medical appointments, lend a hand at our hubs, or support our home-based services. These everyday interactions create a lasting impact.

Skill-Based

Lend your professional skills–whether in digital literacy, finance management, grooming, or dental care–and help our clients build the confidence and skills that will transform their lives.

Event-Based

Help make our events a success by supporting logistics, groundwork or administrative tasks. Every event you help bring to life creates joyful memories for our clients and their families.

Testimonials

I have learned that listening, caring, and truthfully recording can change a life. Sometimes, it is simply about being present for someone who feels unseen—and that is a journey worth taking.

Agnes Koh

Agnes has dedicated over 200 volunteer hours to the Appropriate Adult Scheme for Persons with Mental Disabilities, providing assistance to clients during law enforcement interviews. Her dedication, empathy and patience—whether supporting individuals with complex needs or responding to urgent cases—have strengthened our capacity to serve. Her steadfast commitment continues to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those we support.

There’s a difference between being nosy and genuine concern. Getting to know a trainee’s family will help us better understand where they might need a bit more support.

Christina Chua and Francis Lim

Christina and Francis have been volunteering at MINDS MYG’s West End project since 2004, offering friendship and support to persons with ID and their families. Beyond the weekly sessions, they build trust, bridge communication gaps and empower both trainees and caregivers. From introducing CDC vouchers to caregivers to teaching clients phone skills, their compassion inspires younger volunteers and reminds families that they are never alone on their caregiving journey.

Seeing our members’ joy and progress made every messy moment worthwhile. Thanks to the volunteers and caregivers, we turned flour and chaos into delicious cakes and pastries.

Connie Ang

Since its inception in 2015, Connie has been a dedicated volunteer leader with Me Too! Club, playing a pivotal role in shaping its vision and ethos. She leads the monthly baking sessions with creativity and warmth, bringing joy and practical skills to members. Beyond the activities, Connie also serves as a mentor to new volunteers, helping them settle in quickly and confidently, while guiding and supporting them to contribute meaningfully in their roles. Her long-standing commitment continues to inspire and strengthen our community in countless ways.
