Art
Provides a creative space for PIRs and their family members to express their emotions through art, supporting self-reflection and coping.
Music
Utilises the power of music as a medium for PIRs and their family members to express emotions, aiding in self-reflection and healing.

YRCP Volunteer Engagement, Support and Recognition
YRCP Outreach
Initiatives
To continue growing our pool of grassroots volunteers and provide greater support to beneficiaries, outreach initiatives such as exhibition booths are held year-round to raise awareness of the work of the YRCP among the general public and recruit new volunteers.
YRCP Dialogue &
Onboarding Sessions
After onboarding sessions which orientate volunteers to YRCP, additional support is provided via regular training sessions and dialogue sessions during which volunteers are equipped with the skills and knowledge to best aid beneficiaries, and are given the opportunity to network.
Prison Visits for
Volunteers
In ensuring quality care for beneficiaries, volunteers participate in guided tours of prison facilities to gain insight and develop greater understanding of the prison environment in which the incarcerated persons reside. In this way, volunteers are also better informed to provide updates and assurance to beneficiaries regarding the welfare of their loved ones who are incarcerated.
YRCP Awards &
Appreciation Luncheon
SANA co-organises an annual Yellow Ribbon Community Awards and Appreciation Luncheon (YRCP) to recognise and celebrate the contributions of YRCP volunteers over the past year.
