Our Events & Initiatives

The access to training in culinary skills, music literacy, the performing or visual arts, on top of mindset change, are integral to an ex-offender’s rehabilitation and reintegration back into society. Hence, Yellow Ribbon Singapore and the Singapore Prison Service collaborate with many like-minded stakeholders to enable this access. These efforts are celebrated at the following YRP events and initiatives.
