We are back with our next run of e-Penpal with Seniors 2021! Due to an overwhelming response from our project last year, we are running it again this year to continue to provide a platform for youths & their families to connect with seniors digitally.
e-Penpal with seniors project is a collaboration between Youth Corps Singapore (YCS) and NTUC Health Active Ageing Hub (AAH) through which we want to encourage meaningful interaction between the seniors and youths like yourself.
This opportunity is brought to you by Youth Corps Singapore Eldercare Cluster.

(: Spend some time to engage with your senior(s) through a phone/zoom call, WhatsApp or even a meet-up for a meal! Share with us how each week of engagement is like and at the end of the programme, we would celebrate the start of new friendships & bond between you and the seniors (:The project will run for 7 weeks from 27th February to 10th April 2021. We encourage youths to extend the engagement beyond these 7 weeks to foster a long-term relationship with the seniors (perhaps till Christmas 2021 & beyond). Come join us and be an e-Penpal today :)
