BE A VOLUNTEER
Volunteer with HCSA
Check out our diverse volunteering opportunities and how you or your organisation can get involved.
We welcome both new and experienced volunteers at HCSA Community Services! Be it service-based, event-based and skilled-based volunteering, you can help us make a difference as you engage with and learn more about our beneficiaries. Sign up as a HCSA volunteer for various opportunities that allow you to use your skills to better the lives of families and individuals.
HCSA Community Services is a charitable organisation with Institution of a Public Character (IPC) status and a member of the National Council of Social Service. We were launched in 1996 as a halfway house for recovering drug addicts and ex-offenders. Today, our work has expanded to include teenage girls who have suffered complex trauma from abuse, single-parent families with limited support and other at-risk groups in the community.
HCSA operates with a team of dedicated staff, volunteer teams, corporate and community partners, as we continue to serve the vulnerable in society, to give them a future and a hope. With your generous and heartwarming support, we can empower these vulnerable populations through our signature programmes.
At HCSA Highpoint, we provide a safe and substance-free shelter for male ex-offenders. We are a community partner of Singapore Prison Service and the multi-agency CARE Network under the Halfway House Service Model.
HCSA Highpoint is also proud to support and oversee two ground-up initiatives by our alumni and their loved ones: AIMS, the alumni after-care group; and WISDOM, the pro-social support network by their significant others. We are a community partner of the SPS Desistor Network.
With your help, we can foster a supportive community where former offenders can regain their independence, reconnect with their families, and contribute positively to society as proud desistors.
At HCSA Dayspring, we journey alongside teenage girls who come from difficult backgrounds — they have suffered different forms of abuse such as physical, emotional (psychological), sexual abuse and extended periods of neglect from a young age. With your help, they’re given a safe space to heal and the tools they need to rebuild their lives.
It’s not just about providing shelter and care at HCSA Dayspring — it’s about restoring dignity, building confidence, and empowering these women to embrace the hope for a brighter future. Whether through counselling, skills training, or simply a listening ear, every step of the way, they know they’re not alone.
Together, we can ensure these young girls have the opportunities they deserve to heal, grow, and succeed.
Single parents take on the immense challenge of being both the provider and caregiver for their children—many with limited resources and support. The road is even tougher for low-income single parents, who juggle work and childcare while battling financial stress, social stigma and isolation. Many struggle to find quality time for their children, navigate available assistance or plan for long-term needs.
At HCSA SPIN, we work with both single parents and their children to enhance their well-being, strengthen their social support and empower single parents to better care for the holistic needs of their families. We are also proud to support and oversee a ground-up initiative by our alumni community, Solo & Strong, to support and sustain other single parents in need.
Together, we can empower single parents to become more resilient and self-reliant, and help their children build brighter futures.
HCSA Academy is an Approved Training Provider certified by SkillsFuture Singapore. We offer the WSQ Higher Certificate in Food Services (Culinary Arts), which provides ex-offenders and other at-risk individuals a new lease of life and a level playing field to support themselves and their families.
Today, corporate volunteering is a pillar of any business’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and employee engagement strategy. Besides helping the community, it also rallies employees together and provides leadership and learning opportunities to grow their skills. At HCSA, we have a diverse range of volunteering opportunities for corporates to contribute to our social cause.
