Sustainable Kids Market – Volunteer Recruitment

Play Beyond is a platform where preloved toys are given a new lease of life. We hope to mobilize a circular economy for children’s preloved toys through advocating and enabling a sustainable lifestyle of toy consumption.

If you are eco-conscious and passionate about making a positive impact in our community, this is the role for you! We are looking for volunteers who can help us with our sustainability-themed workshops, customer service, an extra pair of hands with packing and unpacking of toys.

Our sustainability themed workshops include – building a solar-powered toy, building a toy truck/pencil holder with upcycled materials, making a bookmark with handpressed flowers, and playdough fun with ingredients from the kitchen.

This fundraising event is in support of vulnerable children living in Singapore’s public rental flats, through Young Hearts by Singapore Red Cross.
