I’mpart is a non-profit organisation that organises, innovates, and integrates volunteer efforts to make effective and relationship-driven change with underserved youths. 

About the project

I’mpart was officially launched in 2018, and manages the training and strategic deployment of volunteers while developing its own integrative academic and sports programs. I’mpart partners some of the most forward-thinking organisations and start-ups to develop efficacious models for volunteerism, and is dedicated to working with and within communities to generate sustainable change. 

Intention and Impact  

I’mpart envisions a Singapore with robust, accessible, and integrated systems of social mobility for underserved communities. In working towards this vision, they focus on building models of effective and sustainable change for underserved youths aged 15 to 19 years. They depart from the traditional volunteerism model of uncoordinated or piecemeal specialisation by intentionally partnering with caseworkers, social workers, and other community stakeholders to develop healthier ecosystems for underserved youths to thrive in.  

Over the past two years, I’mpart has helped to connect 40 underserved youths to 80 volunteers by working closely with caseworkers and stakeholders from organisations like Trybe, The Last Resort, and Hatch. In 2019, they piloted a sports outreach programme that will be further developed with support from SportsSG. In 2020, they piloted a collaborative academic support and career development programme in partnership with The Apprenticeship Collective.
