• Fundraising Activities - With the set up of Yellow Ribbon Fund, events, such as Flag Day or Yellow Ribbon Street Sales, among others, would be organised to raise funds for ex-offenders as well as their families and children. Volunteers are invited to participate in such fundraising events.
• Awareness events - Events, such as community film premiere, which are organised to raise public awareness towards giving ex-offenders second chances, would require volunteers to participate in terms of ushering, manning booths, packing and giving out goody bags, etc.
• Publicity collaterals - To design publicity materials, such as brochures, commemorative booklet, etc, for our fundraising as well as awareness projects.
• Provide Training - Volunteers with relevant expertise are welcomed to provide training workshops or briefings for our aftercare workers or clients. Helpful topics include grooming workshops, financial management skills, managing self-esteem, anger management skills, resume-writing skills, etc.
• Others - We are open to other forms of skills/services that you wish to offer. Please specify any other ways in which you would like to contribute.

Prison volunteers play an important role in the rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-offenders. Volunteers bring with them their expertise in the various fields and impart their knowledge to the inmates through the various religious and social programmes / activities.

Prison volunteers contribute in the following areas:

• Religious counseling
• Social programmes
• Family focused programmes
• Academic and enrichment programmes
• Mentoring and guiding the released inmates in the aftercare phase

If you are above 21 years old and want to help offenders, join us as an individual volunteer, or as part of an organization registered with Prisons.

We are constantly looking for individual volunteers to join us in the Volunteer After-Care Programme (VAP). The VAP was jointly developed with the Prisons Department and launched in 1997 to provide befriending services and sustained aftercare support to discharged offenders.

Corporate Volunteering Opportunities

Apart from individual volunteering opportunities, SACA welcomes corporate entities that may be keen to explore partnering us in one or more of the following ways:

• Fundraising / Donation
• Event Sponsorship
• Befriending clients and their families
• Conducting workshops
• and more...

Your involvement with SACA would undoubtedly be a strong indication of society’s willingness to accept and help facilitate the reintegration efforts of these ex-offenders and their families.

To date, SACA has had the privilege of working with financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase Bank and Maybank on their Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. The activities jointly undertaken include soccer and bowling tournaments, dragon boating, and a Children’s Holiday Programme at Snow City. We look forward to more of such partnerships!
