ABOUT

  • What is YOLDEN Switch?

    YOLDEN Switch looks into switching our usual mode of engagement of seniors in this COVID-19 situation with the objective of improving the health and social well-being of seniors and reducing social isolation. The word "YOLDEN" is derived from: YO- YOuths and OLDEN- gOLDEN which represents youths and elderly respectively. The aim of this programme is to build intergenerational bonds between seniors and youth. 

    ABOUT

    Due to the safety restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic,  we are currently unable to host physical befriending sessions at the nursing homes. Therefore, in order to keep interacting with the seniors and keep them engaged, we are holding virtual sessions instead.


    In these sessions, we would be carrying out chit-chat and activities that are tailored to each senior's preferences. We would be holding these sessions through WhatsApp Video Call and each session would last for 30 minutes. 


    **As this is a virtual befriending programme, a stable wifi and a computer/smartphone is needed. **

    This is a Youth Corps Singapore regular volunteer activity.
