ItsRainingRaincoats is a registered charity that aims to improve the welfare of migrant workers in Singapore and assimilate their integration into Singaporean society. Since our inception in 2014, we have been fully run by volunteers. This year, however, we are hiring permanent staff. If you are interested in the work we do and are looking for an exciting, always changing, and compassionate place to work.
Located at 470 Upper Paya Lebar Road (534235) inspIRRe is Singapore’s first-of-its-kind place dedicated to migrant workers. On the first floor is a shop where workers can take items that members of the public have donated. On the second floor is a lounge and meeting area where workers, volunteers, corporates, and other stakeholders can meet and relax in. There is no entrance fee to inspIRRe and workers simply have to book a slot before they can enter. Each worker can only visit once every three months so as to ensure Singapore’s population of one million workers can each get a chance to visit.
This internship provides a valuable opportunity to gain hands-on experience in volunteer management, community engagement, social media creation and nonprofit operations. You will have the chance to work with a dynamic team dedicated to creating meaningful change in the community. We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
