In conjunction with YMCA, Team Genesis is looking for Volunteers to support and work towards the social cause of improving the well being of the special needs community and help them integrate better into society.
Known as the YMCA Youth Club, the club will allow special needs clients to get together and have a home-like environment; with a diverse range of programs aimed at enabling special need clients with new employable skills and have fun at the same time.
Volunteers who can commit on a regular rostered schedule are preferred. Volunteers will have to go through a Volunteer Briefing at the start of every session.
Note: It is a requirement by YMCA for volunteers to be 18 years old this year. Therefore, volunteers who are still 17 years old but turning 18 this year may continue to apply for the opportunity.
