YOLDEN (Sports) Programme (Round 1)
By Youth Corps Singapore

ABOUT
  • Come join us in the national youth movement to create an elderly-friendly Singapore in the first round of YOLDEN Sports.

    YOLDEN is a regular befriending programme which aims to cater to the physical, intellectual and social-emotional wellness of seniors in nursing homes. “YO” comes from the word “YOuths” and “OLDEN” comes from the word “gOLDEN” which represents seniors.

    YOLDEN (Sports) aims to foster intergenerational bonds among youth volunteers and senior residents from St. Andrew’s Nursing Home (Henderson) through adapted sports such as adapted badminton, volleyball, basketball, and telematch. This programme is jointly curated by Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), Sport Singapore and Youth Corps Singapore.

    Through regular participation and physical activity, may improve seniors’ overall physical and mental health. Join us to spend your Saturday afternoons meaningfully!

    This project is a Youth Corps Singapore regular community service programme.​
