Fellow,Community Building Job Singapore Singapore,Non-Profit & Social Impact

Position: Fellow, Community Building (3 day work week)
THE ROLE

Step outside your usual professional world. Step into the world of communities.

Ever wondered what it would be like to work in the social impact sector, but weren't quite ready to make a full-time career switch?

Or perhaps you're at a crossroads in your professional journey, looking for a meaningful experience that broadens your perspectives, challenges your assumptions, and gives you the space to explore what's next?

Skillseed is opening a rare opportunity to join us as a Community Building Fellow for one year.

This isn't simply another ad hoc job. It's an opportunity to step behind the scenes of a Singapore social enterprise, experience community building from the ground up, and discover how meaningful relationships, trust and collective action can transform communities.

Across three days a week, you'll contribute to real community-building initiatives while gaining exposure to people, perspectives and experiences beyond your usual professional circles.

Whether you're exploring a possible career transition, seeking a purposeful change of pace, or simply curious about the social impact ecosystem, this fellowship could be an enriching next chapter.

WHO WE ARE

Skillseed is a Singapore-based social enterprise that believes stronger communities begin with stronger relationships.

Since 2013, we've worked with public agencies, corporates and community partners to move beyond transactional engagement towards relationships grounded in dignity, empathy and trust.

Through our signature Resilience Trails™, community-building initiatives and experiential learning programmes, we bring people across different walks of life together, helping organisations and individuals recognise strengths, build connections and create meaningful change.

This is a hands-on fellowship, not an observation-only experience. You'll become part of our Community Building team, contributing meaningfully to the work while learning alongside our practitioners and community partners.

Observe and occasionally shadow our Resilience Trails™ and community engagement initiatives.
Capture stories, reflections, conversations and lessons from our Community Guides, stakeholders and participants.
Help us distill these experiences into practical insights and resources that inform how we build stronger communities.
You’ll also transmute data that we collect into evidence-backed stories.

3. Experience the Social Impact Ecosystem from the Inside

Gain firsthand exposure to how a social enterprise collaborates with community organisations, public agencies and other stakeholders.
Contribute to volunteer engagement, recruitment and onboarding efforts.
Discover the opportunities and complexities of translating good intentions into meaningful, sustainable community action.

4. Contribute to the Work That Makes Impact Possible

Support the coordination, documentation and tracking of community-building initiatives.
Work collaboratively with our team to strengthen our processes, institutional knowledge and ways of working.
Bring your professional experience, fresh perspectives and ideas to help us continuously improve.

You’ll be supported by our existing administrative, finance and resource teams, allowing you to focus on community engagement, learning and meaningful…
