Dare to Dream
Dare to Dream: Batch 1
Dare to Dream: Batch 1 is a hands-on program that helps migrant workers develop actionable business plans for success back home. Each participant receives mentorship to refine their ideas and create viable business models. The program culminates in a Shark Tank-style pitch event, where participants present their plans to a panel of judges, with top ideas earning prizes. This initiative goes beyond skills training—it empowers workers to create lasting change and secure a brighter future for themselves and their families.
Target Audience: Foreign Workers
Dates: 1 September to Sunday to 15 December (excluding public holidays/ RC events)
Timing: 5.30pm to 6pm
Location: Sembawang RC, however, some sessions are virtual

​Volunteer Opportunities
Email us below and we will let you know when our next batch begins.
Skills needed: We need mentors from the finance/ business community to help individual workers. You can help them stress test their business plan, help them complete a loan application form, and check in to make sure they are on track or even be a sounding board.
Spotlight on our participants...

Recognizing the daily demand for masala, he plans to source quality seeds directly from farmers. His vision is to store the ingredients for a few months before beginning production. Despite limited experience, Al Amin’s commitment to this venture reflects his belief in the product's widespread appeal.
Arul, an Indian construction worker with 20 years of experience in Singapore, plans to open a construction and hardware shop.
