Volunteers are the bedrock of all community initiatives. Through their dedication and altruism, YMCA’s volunteers are the key drivers of sustainability across all our community programmes to bring cheer to the beneficiaries. YMCA of Singapore strives to groom our volunteers and cultivate their talents and strengths to enhance their ability to contribute to the community. YMCA of Singapore promotes volunteerism and develops volunteer capability through the YMCA-Lim Kim San Volunteers Programme.
Introduced in 2007, the Programme aims to build a well-trained and sustainable community of volunteers to deliver community service programmes with excellence. It also aims to recognise volunteers who sacrifice time and effort to serve the less-privileged and facilitates corporations in giving back to the community.

The YMCA-NUS Business School Volunteer Service Management Programme (VSMP) is a professional certificate course that equips volunteers and staff of non-profit organisations with skills and knowledge to implement community service programmes with excellence.
Introduced in 2007, it was a first in the social service sector that featured the collaboration between a Social Service Agency and a local premier university to offer a certification programme.
The VSMP is a comprehensive all-in-one management course conducted by lecturers from both YMCA and NUS Business School, and facilitated by NUS Business School Alumni members.
