Giving back: Family-friendly volunteering opportunities in Singapore

It’s true that choosing a suitable curriculum and the right school can provide our kids with a great education experience. But let’s not forget that education can also be gained through activities like volunteering. We’ve done some digging and compiled a short list of organisations that welcome helping hands - big and small!

Eco-based volunteering

1. Cloop

This organisation is all about closing the fashion loop. Cloop’s mission is to reduce fashion overconsumption and waste by keeping apparel circulated within the community through its very own Cloop Cycle. It welcomes volunteers to help sort clothes - a great way to introduce the kiddos to circular fashion and the importance of recycling!

2. Trash Heroes Singapore

Gloves and garbage collection bags are provided for the regular Trash Hero beach clean-up sessions. Kids (and adults) can come along and do their bit for the environment by keeping Singapore’s shorelines trash-free. Guides will also impart wise words about the impact that waste and rubbish have on the global environment.
