Volunteer

Has it ever struck you that out of every five people in Singapore, one is a transient worker?

Do you find yourself with free time, which you would like to use for helping others?

Do you want to make a difference in the lives of people who built the house you are living in?

Have you thought of recognizing the workload your housemaid reduces for you?

Volunteers are at the heart of the work we do at TWC2. Our fantastic volunteers have helped make a tremendous difference in the lives of many of our transient workers.

You can get involved in any of the following ways:

• You can meet our workers at the Cuff Food program and other contact points to lend them a listening ear. Briefed by our social workers or Executive Committee members, you in turn can help workers by advising them with respect to medical claims and procedures and their legal options.
• Many of our workers don’t speak or understand English. If you are fluent in a language native to some workers (like Mandarin, Tamil, Bengali, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Burmese and Indonesian), you can act as an interpreter. Alternatively, you can be on tap for translation help over the phone.
• If you have free time during the day and are able to accompany workers for their hospital and other appointments, your presence and support will be very much appreciated.
• We also need enthusiastic volunteers to help us in updating our website content (we need writer-interviewers, photographers, videographers, etc) and in our outreach efforts and awareness building using social media.
• If you are a good event organiser, lend us your expertise for outreach and fund-raising events.

The above is not exhaustive of possibilities. You can contribute in your own way.  The skills we need vary from nursing to para-legal, language and communication skills to IT knowledge and counseling skills. But even if all you have is empathy, that alone goes a long way and is much appreciated by our beneficiaries.
