Ever curious to know where the bulk of volunteers in the National Day Parade (NDP) comes from? You will find your answer here! HW-NDP Hospitality Management is one of Heartware Network’s highlight events, one that our volunteers look forward to every year.

Established in 2000, Heartware Network has been supporting the National Day Parade Executive Committee (NDP EXCO) by training and managing youth volunteers to support in the parade’s hospitality management.

As Singapore commemorates her independence this National Day Parade (NDP) on August 9, Heartware Network will once again rally youths in support of the nation’s birthday. This National Day, we invite you to be part of our NDP volunteer team. Join in on the action, gain leadership skills and meet new friends! Training will be provided to equip you with the skills needed to serve as part of the hospitality management team at the event.

Heartware Network’s Tuition Programme had its humble beginnings since 2009, first initiated by student volunteers from Raffles Institution (Junior College). Its aim is to reach out to under-served primary school children whose parents are incarcerated and/or come from low-income families.

For children, whose parents are incarcerated or from low-income backgrounds, keeping up with their academics is an uphill battle. The motivation to learn wanes rapidly with the lack of positive role models in their lives. The Heartware Tuition Programme aims to place these children on equal footing with their peers through free weekly tuition, driven by youth volunteers from tertiary institutions.

Conceptualised in 2014, Heartware Support Our Pioneers Programme aims to bridge the inter-generational divide through bi-weekly home visitations. Youth volunteers and leaders are trained to identify real needs of the elderly, and render social and emotional support.

To close the digital divide experienced by our elderly, youth volunteers will also run the Mobile Digital Clinic during visitations to bring digital support and education to their homes.

Visitations are currently conducted at 6 sites located at Taman Jurong, Lengkok Bahru, Tanjong Pagar, Jalan Kukoh, Yishun, Pasir Ris.

Heartware Network rolled out the Heartware – Tanoto Foundation Learning Together Programme (HW-TFLTP) during the Covid-19 circuit breaker period to provide learning support for vulnerable students at the lower primary level to improve their English literacy skills. Due to their young age, we focus on learning together with them on areas they require assistance. We believe that no child should be left behind as they begin their educational journey.

Youth Volunteers help to augment the efforts of participating primary schools by reinforcing the students’ learning through regular online/physical reading sessions.

Heartware Network is proud to support Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (SFCCA) in the management of visitors for the River Hongbao celebrations. 

Since 2018, youth volunteers were involved in the celebrations as they worked closely with various stakeholders on the ground to make the event a success. 

On top of making new friends, volunteers also had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a meaningful cultural experience.

The President’s Challenge Volunteer Drive encourages members of the public from all walks of life to dedicate their time and talent towards helping and caring for those in need, and to create a cohesive, caring and inclusive society. From 2018 to 2023, Heartware Network has been honoured to be entrusted with the role of a Volunteer Manager under the President’s Challenge Volunteer Drive.

With two decades of experience in consistent volunteer management, Heartware Network is able to help beneficiaries of other social service organisations through this collaboration. Heartware Network has successfully curated 19,318 volunteering opportunities, benefitted 122 President’s Challenge beneficiary organisations and partnered with 132 schools and organisations.

Through activities such as befriending efforts, home refurbishments and workshops, our youth and corporate volunteers are able to serve almost the gamut of President’s Challenge benefiting organisations categories: Children, Youth & Family; Disability; Eldercare; Mental Health Services; Healthcare; Rehabilitation; Sports and Cross Sectors.
