Capacity Building - by the volunteers to the volunteers
At the Singapore Red Cross (SRC), volunteers are offered the opportunity to develop valuable skills through the Volunteer Skills Training (VST) programme, which plays a key role in enhancing both personal and professional growth. Whether volunteers are interested in photography, creative writing, social media, event management, or storytelling, the training sessions are designed to help them grow and make a greater impact in their roles. These workshops are conveniently available through the Volunteer Portal.
The VST programme is a volunteer workgroup-led initiative, where volunteers with specific and specialised skills collaborate closely with the Volunteer Management team and respective SRC departments. This collaborative approach ensures that the training provided is both relevant and practical, reflecting the real-world needs of the organisation and its volunteers. Expert volunteers, along with professionals from external organisations, play a vital role in sharing their knowledge and insights, enhancing the overall quality of the programme.
This initiative is crucial in building a skilled and capable community of volunteers, empowering them with the expertise needed to better support the SRC’s mission. By providing these learning opportunities, the VST programme helps volunteers gain the confidence and skills to take on more meaningful roles and contribute to the organisation’s success. It reinforces the SRC's commitment to creating a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and excellence, ensuring that volunteering remains a rewarding and impactful experience for all involved. Ultimately, the VST programme strengthens the volunteer network and enables volunteers to lead, inspire, and drive social impact, contributing to the resilience and growth of society.
