About Singapore Prison Service Volunteers - Secular

We have a wide range of non-religious activities, from enrichment programmes, academic tutoring to family-based activities that volunteers can contribute to. Realising the importance of equipping offenders with the relevant skills to ensure their successful reintegration upon release, organizations and volunteers are engaged to provide skills training and workshops on a voluntary basis. Programmes such as anger and emotion management, financial planning, and speech craft provide the necessary skill sets, positive habits and social values to offenders, so as to augment the rehabilitation efforts and allow effective i.e. Integration into the society. Offenders are given opportunities to advance their educational qualifications, so that they can strive to be responsible and contributing citizens upon their release. Support from individual volunteers in terms of supervising or tutoring offenders in their weakest subjects is important. This will improve offenders to achieve academic success. Volunteers not only help offenders academically, but also provide the encouragement and motivation by acting as mentors and friends.
