Our Mission Statement on Volunteer Involvement
The Salvation Army welcomes volunteers as partners to march along with love and passion, in serving and enriching lives without discrimination. We recognise that a meaningful engagement and partnership with volunteers will allow us to mutually glow and grow.
Volunteers- Our Care Partners
With this in mind, we actively engage volunteers from all walks of life in our continued efforts in working with our beneficiaries.
Volunteers play an active and important role within The Salvation Army; in their own unique ways, they work hand-in-hand with our staff and contribute to, extend and enrich the care of children, youths, elderly and families The Salvation Army works with.
Our Partnership Philosophy
Recognizing that each volunteer is unique; each having his/her own wealth of skills, knowledge, talents, experience, insights and ideas, the Army strives to match each volunteers’ skills, interests, commitment level, experience, preferences to meet real needs through its network of social service centres and programmes.
At the end of the day, the volunteer programme seeks to benefit both beneficiaries and volunteers; beneficiaries benefiting from the involvement of the volunteers and volunteers growing and developing from their volunteering with the Army. This is what we call the “SA-V” (Salvation Army Volunteer, pronounced as “savvy”) experience.
How Volunteers Contribute?
The Salvation Army Volunteer (or SA-V) Family currently consist of group, corporate, family and individual volunteers rendering their services on regular, ad-hoc and project basis.
Opportunities to “do good” are abound in areas such as:
* Share-a-skill / Knowledge
* Reading & Academic Mentorship
* Day-Out with Beneficiaries
* Contribute-a-Skill
* Entertainment / Befriending
* Facilities Improvement & Maintenance
* Donations-in-kind Processing
* Events Support
* Fundraising & Collection Drives
* Programme Support
Volunteers can choose to serve in direct services (e.g. providing academic mentorship, befriending and/or sharing a skill with our beneficiaries) or in indirect support services (e.g. offering their expertise in photography, web-design, helping to sort and process donations-in-kind to the Army and/or helping at fundraising events).
Volunteers are welcome to come help us in existing programmes and activities or initiate meaningful projects that would help the Army’s work with the needy and underprivileged.
