• YMCA of Singapore is a volunteer-based Christian organisation that seeks to serve and impact all members of the community, regardless of race, language or religion, through programmes, services and enterprises to develop the body, mind and spirit.
• We welcome interns from all disciplines to join our dynamic team across various divisions. This internship offers an opportunity to gain hands‑on experience, develop skills, and make a meaningful contribution to the community.

As a Student Care Intern, you will gain hands‑on experience in a meaningful and dynamic environment that supports the growth and development of primary school children. This internship is ideal for individuals who are passionate about youth work, education, or social services, and who wish to contribute to the community while developing practical skills in classroom management, lesson facilitation, and student engagement.

You will work alongside experienced Student Care Mentors and contribute to a nurturing, values‑based learning environment that emphasises character building, social responsibility, and personal growth.
