SMU Caretalyst aims to educate, encourage, and empower future leaders to make a difference through three main community service projects — Project Enrich, Project Illuminate and Project Ai, as well as our annual freshmen event, YOLO.  

Project Enrich aims to further the holistic education of underprivileged children through physical weekly outings which will focus on teaching them soft skills such as teamwork and communication while educating them about Singapore's culture and heritage. This project will take place over the winter break.

Project Illuminate focuses on serving the underprivileged children to improve their academics through weekly remedial sessions, and cultivate their character and values through our interactions with them via sports, science, and art activities. Additionally, this project takes place during the school semesters. 

Project Ai aims to empower Persons With Intellectual Disability (PWIDs) with various skill sets through weekly activities and at the same time, raise public awareness on special needs. This project happens over the summer break.

YOLO is SMU Caretalyst's flagship event for incoming freshmen, which aims to foster the spirit of volunteerism and act as a catalyst to touch the lives of those in need. In addition to a captivating lineup of activities, participants will be involved in a 6-week Community Service Project - Project YOLO.
