In response to "Do you think there is a need for such digital volunteering to promote intergenerational bonding? Why?"

Yes. Through helping elderly with digital devices, we can draw them closer to learning how to help themselves to use technology to improve their lifestyle.

In response to "Which companies do you think would be interested in onboarding with us?"

I think many private and government sectors will be keen to participate.

In response to "Do you know of any other similar initiative? (Yes or No, share if any)"

No.

ACE, RCs, town councils

In response to "Do you know of any other similar initiative? (Yes or No, share if any)"

check out ACE and silver generation office

In response to "Do you think there is a need for such digital volunteering to promote intergenerational bonding? Why?"

I do agree that intergenerational bonding is important, as ageism is a prevalent issue in the workplace. However, in my opinion, i think there are other ways to promote intergenerational bonding other than digital volunteering, as this would be quite limited in the scope of implementation (i dont see much scenarios where digital volnteering directly plays a part to promote intergenerational bonding).

In response to "Which companies do you think would be interested in onboarding with us?"

NTUC Income, stakeholders that are invested in keeping elderly active in society

In response to "Do you know of any other similar initiative? (Yes or No, share if any)"

No

In response to "Do you think there is a need for such digital volunteering to promote intergenerational bonding? Why?"

More than a need, it is good to allow intergenerational to bond through activities

In response to "Which companies do you think would be interested in onboarding with us?"

Old Chang Kee, AIC, RSVP

In response to "Do you know of any other similar initiative? (Yes or No, share if any)"

Nope

In response to "Do you think there is a need for such digital volunteering to promote intergenerational bonding? Why?"

Absolutely. In this current 21st century, with technological advancements all around us, it is extremely vital to not leave our seniors behind as well. While we impart our digital knowledge and skillset to them, I am certain that many of them will be more than willing to impart other lifelong values to us, in their decades of life experience.

In response to "Which companies do you think would be interested in onboarding with us?"

IMDA (Infocomm Media Development Authority)

In response to "Do you know of any other similar initiative? (Yes or No, share if any)"

Yes. The IMDA already have many initiatives promoting digital literacy to seniors, such as the \'Seniors Go Digital\' initiative.

In response to "Do you think there is a need for such digital volunteering to promote intergenerational bonding? Why?"

Yes. As the whole world is moving towards a digitalized society, I think it’s necessary for everyone to get used to this kinda digital volunteering. Since it also promotes inter generational bonding, it will also reduce numerous misunderstandings we have between our generations.

In response to "Which companies do you think would be interested in onboarding with us?"

Companies that hire elderlies. For example Old Chang Kee.

In response to "Do you know of any other similar initiative? (Yes or No, share if any)"

Nope

In response to "Do you think there is a need for such digital volunteering to promote intergenerational bonding? Why?"

Not necessarily intergenerational bonding. Just volunteering opportunities for the older person is good enough.

In response to "Which companies do you think would be interested in onboarding with us?"

Maybe those who are serving vulnerable groups and they need extra hands?

yes, you might want to work with Hey, You Got Mail! they are running a very similar program and our one of the big champions for digital inclusion

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

An inclusive society brings less problems as all generations can keep in touch and can still find meaningful life as they gain new knowledge to work and train for the future. E.g learn a new skill like hair cutting.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Come up with a concrete plan and idea on how this would be implemented, and try to find a way to do so organically. Also, why focus on digital volunteering to solve this issue? There are other more effective ways to tackle this soceital problem, such as a mentorship program? something more practical and intimate.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Firstly, I feel that this is a very meaningful project and it is heartening to know that there are young people in our Singapore society who have a heart for the elderly. However, I believe that this is still a small percentage of the youths in our society. Personally, I feel that we can embark on this plan by firstly reaching out to youths, and finding interesting ways to bring across the message in hopes that many other youths too will be convinced that this is a concerning problem in society that we can make a difference to. All the best!

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

First of all , this a very new and thoughtful initiative! You guys can explore ideas on incentivising the companies you will be working with. It doesn’t have to be monetary. But they should also be reaping some benefits from this initiative. Also you can also build your credentials before approaching big companies. In that way, it will be easier to partner with them as well.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Though RSVP Singapore may be the social service agency known for senior volunteers, various social service agencies also have their own pool of senior volunteers. So, just speak with the seniors you intend to engage to find out if they are already volunteering somewhere. Jiayou guys.

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

standardise the communication channel, make sure all chat is on the app, make sure its single language so all can be engaged and be on the same page. make sure no fraud is made by volunteering and not appearing by tracking/cross tracking attendence

In response to "How Can We Improve?"

Come out with program either in digital or physical and encourage different generation to participate by voice out their thoughts and share their life experience and even skill set
