Feedback from Participants "I am able to understand social concerns in Singapore better and relate it to my case management with volunteers. I am more aware of internal and external factors of an event and try to use the strengths and to develop opportunities. I use control for performance and measure of performance to evaluate events. I am also more aware of the safety management to avoid potential accident." - Zhang Hui, Handicaps Welfare Association, VSMP 2nd Run graduand "We have some events which need planning, organizing, budgeting, orientation of volunteers, risk assessment, control measures and I have learnt them all and applied these into my work. Even SWOT Analysis is useful when planning for an event, especially during the recent Family Sports cum Anniversary Day. I wish to thank YMCA & NUS lecturers & facilitators for giving me this great opportunity to learn all the above skills. I shall also impart these skills to my colleagues." - Jess Lee, Bishan Home for the Intellectually Disabled, VSMP 2nd Run graduand "As the project director in charge of 'Seniors in Scouting" a program under "Golden Opportunities' funded by MCYS, I find the knowledge and skill most useful. I can now better promote the program to potential applicants and also more effectively match them with the volunteer work available in the Singapore Scout Association. I have also been able to negotiate with the funding body for simpler funding submission and faster processing of payment. Above all, the volunteers' level of involvement has increased marginally. The "stay-on" numbers remain quite consistent." - Caleb Cheah, The Singapore Scout Association, VSMP 2nd Run graduand Feedback from Facilitators "We have the right target audience as we can see the high level of enthusiasm - which makes the whole experience very enjoyable." - Tan Tzann Chang, VSMP 1st & 2nd Run facilitator "VSMP provides a platform for participants to understand more about the voluntary sector and be equipped with the relevant skills." - Zatan Tan, VSMP 1st Run facilitator Enquiries For enquiries, please contact: Maggie Fung, Executive, Volunteers Programme Tel: 6586 2354; Email: maggiefung@ymca.org.sg
