[Online] e-Penpal with Seniors
By Youth Corps Singapore

ABOUT
  • Remember our Penpal with Seniors project last month? In our new edition, it is now moving online! :)

    The e-Penpal with Seniors project is a new collaboration between Youth Corps Singapore (YCS) and Families For Life (FFL) through which we want to provide a platform for youths & their families to connect with seniors digitally. We hope to encourage meaningful interaction between the seniors, youths like you and your family.

Volunteer e-Penpal

(Weekly commitment) Are you an active youth who is interested in befriending seniors online? Look no further as you’ll get the opportunity to learn and bond over similar interests with our seniors through this project!

 

Every other week, we encourage you, together with your family members, to engage in activities based on the week’s theme with the senior you have been paired with through online platforms, such as Whatsapp, Zoom etc. In the alternate weeks, an online group gathering will be held during which you will get to meet all the seniors, youths and families involved in this project. We will be facilitating a variety of activities and games during these group e-gatherings.

 

The project will run for 8 weeks between 18th July and 12th September 2020. We encourage youths & their families to extend the engagement beyond these 8 weeks to foster a long-term relationship with the seniors (till December 2020).

 

Come join us and be an e-Penpal today :)
