Ms Marianne Wang to start her journey of volunteering at just 12 years old. She started out tutoring children with non-profit Smart Guppy, and went on to volunteer with Youth Corps – an organisation that gives youth opportunities to serve their community – and at Meet-the-People Sessions (MPS).
Dylan Toh, 20, from Hwa Chong Institution, also started volunteering from a young age. The three recipients spent their youth volunteering, including sitting in on MPS, where the stories they heard spurred them to want to do more for the community. Ms Emily Tan was similarly inspired after hearing the stories of the residents she met at MPS, and seeing the trust and vulnerability shown by them.
