Little Changemakers designs engaging, hands-on workshops for schools and student care centres in Singapore. Our programmes help students build curiosity, creativity, empathy, confidence, and real-world problem-solving skills.

VIA & Service-Learning Programmes

Our VIA and service-learning programmes help students move beyond one-off volunteering towards more thoughtful, respectful, and meaningful community engagement. Students can take part in hands-on activities with beneficiaries, learn how to serve with empathy, or explore how design thinking can be used to create better community solutions.
