The Volunteer Experience
We drive the self-work for volunteers to become learning facilitators that inspire curiosity and experimentation. We welcome anyone who has the motivation to learn more about community development and how to inspire a love for learning.

Key Takeaways
Sometimes I see myself in the children - especially when they feel anxious from not doing a good job or writing a letter wrongly. It's an experience of rediscovering myself and helping the children at the same time.
Volunteering is my source of joy. You see how you make a difference from the child's actions and emotions.

A Volunteer's Journey
1. Onboarding - A compulsory 4-hours training where we explain our work and impart design thinking frameworks and behavioral management techniques. Volunteers are expected to tailor our plans to individual child needs during 1-1/1-2 volunteer-child segments.
2. Deployment - Volunteers can opt for ad-hoc or structured opportunities (10 weeks per cycle) where they will engage preschool/primary schoolers as learning facilitators. Long-term commitment is strongly encouraged since consistency helps children learn better.
3. Coaching - Volunteers will be supported during session by the core team. You will be coached on how to engage children better and respond to unexpected situations.
4. Continuity - Volunteers are welcome to continue with us! We've had multiple volunteers who stay on after their first stint.
