Become a Play Champion —
Volunteer with Playeum!

Do you believe in the power of play? At Playeum, we create safe, inclusive spaces where children are free to explore, express themselves, and to be wholly themselves — and we’re looking for volunteer playmakers who want to make that happen for our community play programmes. Our weekly programmes support children from low-income and vulnerable backgrounds.

Artful Play @ Bukit Merah

What’s the programme about?

​

Artful Play is a weekly community play programme developed by Playeum in partnership with SHINE Children and Youth Services (SCYS), supporting children 12 years old and under living in public rental flats along Spooner Road and Jalan Bukit Merah. Designed to address gaps in children’s social-emotional skills and community engagement, the programme uses an inquiry-based, child-led approach that empowers children to co-create solutions and explore their interests.

 

Through collaborative play, creative facilitation, and a supportive environment, the initiative strengthens social participation while building a network of care — all as part of SCYS’s wider Collective Impact efforts with MSF ComLink+.

​

The programme happens on selected weekdays 2.00pm - 6.00pm at SHINE Children and Youth Services’ space in Bukit Merah. Exact dates and location will be shared upon indication of interest. 

 

We’re looking for people who are:

  • Minimally 21 years old and above

  • Passionate in igniting young children’s play and creativity

  • Respectful of children’s ideas and independence

  • Flexible and have a can-do spirit 

  • Reliable and ready to be part of a team

 

What you’ll do as a Volunteer Playmaker: 

  • Support and spark children’s creativity through open-ended play and exploration

  • Engage meaningfully with children’s ideas — offering encouragement, tools, and playful provocations

  • Help create a warm, welcoming space for children, and chat with adults in the space (SHINE social workers) about Playeum’s approach to play

  • Assist with the smooth running of programme sessions — from setup to teardown, managing attendance and group flow, and responding to enquiries

  • Contribute to documenting the programme through photographs, videos, interviews, and reflections

 

No prior experience? No problem! We provide training and support every step of the way.

 

Time commitment: 
Minimally 2 sessions per month, for 2 months. Exact dates will be shared upon indication of interest.
