Project ROSE (Reaching Out for Senior Engagement) is an amazing opportunity for you to make a difference in the lives of seniors in our community! Our programme aims to provide companionship and check-ins for seniors.
As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with seniors, provide them with support they require, and engage in activities with them. Through this programme, you will gain valuable skills in communication, empathy, and leadership.
By volunteering with Project ROSE, you will not only make a positive impact on the lives of seniors, but also help to bridge the gap between generations. It's a chance to learn from the wisdom and experience of our senior community members, while also sharing your own unique perspectives and experiences.
Project ROSE occurs every Tuesday between 25 July and 17 October 2023.
Engage in fun games (or suggest your own ones!) and bond with the seniors! You do not need to attend all sessions, but we highly recommend you to so that you can put a constant smile on our seniors!
