In collaboration with Ambulance Wish Singapore (AWS), the Youth Corps Singapore Eldercare Cluster is recruiting volunteers to grant wishes for palliative care patients.This project aims to spread awareness about palliative care (those who are terminally ill) among youths by playing a part in fulfilling the wishes of palliative care patients.The following are more details on the volunteering opportunity:1. Training on how to interact with palliative care patients will be conducted by AWS2. Each volunteer will be assigned to a group of wish granters to work together on a wish3. The role of the volunteer in the group is to serve as a wish amplifier - a person who helps to enhance the wish for the patient4. Volunteers will then need to submit a video that will be posted on IG of their wish granting experienceWe are looking for youth who are 18 years and above with the passion to contribute to fulfilling wishes for palliative care patients. Volunteers must be fully vaccinated and possess basic videography and editing skills. Volunteers must take ART before visiting the palliative care patients. The cost of ART is claimable from AWS.
Volunteers will undergo screening and be notified if eligible. As every wish is unique such as outings, taking family portraits, etc., the frequency of commitment may vary.The dates, timings and locations of the wish fulfilment will depend on availability of the patient/caregiver. All wishes will be granted between 16 April 2022 to 30 June 2022. NOTE: The timings, dates and locations of this project are only for attendance taking purposes and will not reflect the time taken for the actual granting of wishes. Each volunteer will be assigned to a wish. A group chat with other assigned team members will also be created for each wish. Team members will use the group chat to communicate with each other in order to ensure seamless execution of the patient’s wish. Service hours will be credited accordingly.
