By Youth Corps Singapore

ABOUT
  • KidsLearn is a literacy and befriending program that aims to provide reading and phonics enrichment for young preschool children aged 5 to 6.

    Through interactive activities and games on the Khan Academy Kids platform, children can improve their literacy skills while also making new friends.

    As a volunteer coordinator, you will be responsible to manage a team of volunteer befrienders. You will also plan and lead group activities for the children, helping them develop both academically and socially. You will be able to watch the volunteers and children's progress and see the positive impact of your efforts. 

    If you are a student or young working adult looking for a fulfilling way to give back to your community, this program is a great opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young children.

    We hope you will join us and be a part of this rewarding experience.

    This is a Youth Corps Singapore regular programme.
