Summary

The YMCA of Singapore is a community organization, based on Christian values and affiliated worldwide, that engages a critical mass of volunteers to serve others regardless of race, language or religion.

The late Mr Lim Kim San was an Honorary Life Member and an active supporter of the YMCA.

To honour this distinguished son of Singapore, recognize his life in the service of others, and to hold him out as an inspirational challenge to our volunteers, the YMCA Volunteers Service Programme has been named after him.

The Programme aims to:

  1. a) Promote volunteerism amongst Singaporeans, in particular in YMCA local community and international service programmes,

  2. b) Attract and retain volunteers to undertake sustained service in specific service programmes, as well as recognise their service,

  3. c) Enhance the capability of volunteers to better serve and understand the beneficiaries under their care,

  4. d) Identify and develop leaders amongst our volunteers, and

  5. e) Encourage and facilitate corporate volunteerism.
