Internship Experience - Raffles Girls' Secondary School

This November 2024, we had the pleasure of welcoming six enthusiastic students from Raffles Girls’ School (RGS) for their internship. Each student brought their own spark, energy, and creativity to our initiatives throughout the month. The students: Chloe, Van, Odelia, Megan, Anantika, and Charlotte—joined us across different weeks and contributed meaningfully across various projects and workshops.

Chloe, our first intern, started even before November officially began. Despite being only a Secondary One student, she demonstrated an impressive level of commitment and independence, balancing school responsibilities with her internship both remotely and in-person. Chloe supported external activities, helped design brochures for our programmes, handled data entry, and volunteered during our Digital Arts For All sessions. Her dedication and proactive spirit were deeply appreciated by the entire team.

Anantika joined in the first week of November and quickly impressed us with her artistic flair. She created custom digital stickers for our media programmes, imaginative visuals that will continue to be used in our future content and workshops.

By the second week of November, we welcomed Van, Odelia, Megan, and Charlotte, who jumped straight into hands-on volunteering activities. They supported our Digital Drawing Workshop for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) held at the Enabling Village, assisted in our iPad for Learning sessions for teachers at Qihua Primary School, and contributed to senior workshops at various active ageing centres focused on digital literacy and online safety.

A highlight for many was the opportunity to connect and collaborate with students from different schools through our Youth For Change interactive workshop. These inter-school bonds created a memorable and empowering experience, showing how young people from different schools can come together with a shared purpose to drive social impact.

We also want to give a special shoutout to two amazing Youth For Change teams, Project Unbottled and Project Hustle, for being a part of this changemaker journey. Their presence and initiative were an inspiration to their peers.

It was a month of growth not just for our team but for the students too, who gained firsthand experience in community work, tech-enabled education, and inclusive engagement.

To our RGS interns, thank you for your time, heart, and willingness to learn. We’re so glad to have been a part of your journey!
