Job Summary
Kampung Siglap Lifeskills Training & Retreat Centre (KS) is New Hope Community Services (New Hope CS) response to addressing poor attendance at life-skills training workshops and the lack of sustained engagement with less advantaged beneficiaries. It is designed for sustained engagement with our beneficiaries, to empower them to make positive and lasting changes for better life outcomes.
KS is a first-of-its-kind training facility, where essential life skills are imparted through holistic retreat programs. It aims to equip beneficiaries with relevant skill sets, remove limiting beliefs, and instil confidence and hope for the future. Many low-income families are entrapped in a poverty cycle, even experiencing inter-generational poverty. Sustained engagement with them is vital because it is relationship focused. Beneficiaries develop healthy mindsets and relevant skills through constructive relationships with mentors, case managers, and volunteer befrienders.
KS will also serve as a platform for community volunteerism. Schools, corporations, and individual volunteers can give back through various avenues. This will be a many helping hands approach towards profound social good. KS will be a place where both givers and receivers will be enriched through meaningful interactions.
