Learn about HTVNFormed on 15 July 2011, the Home Team Volunteer Network (HTVN) unifies and brings together the diverse volunteers from across the Home Team.
HTVN’s 15,000 volunteers serve in roles ranging from volunteering in frontline roles such as enforcing law and order or fire-fighting, to other roles such as sharing tips on how to stay drug-free or providing support for victims of crimes. We aim to make our volunteers’ journey with the Home Team meaningful and fulfilling.
Find Out MoreLearning a new skill is the top reason why volunteers sign up with the HTVN. Pick up new skills or hone your existing skills in new ways. You'll receive the training you need to contribute effectively.
Take up frontline roles as diverse as saving lives, safeguarding the community, or educating the public about security concerns, and befriending and providing support to offenders and ex-offenders. It all depends on your interests!
While many of our volunteers join and serve together with friends and family members, over time, they have also forged new friendships with others they volunteer alongside with. Volunteering in the HT is indeed a meaningful way to meet and bond with like-minded people while helping others.
We appreciate all our volunteers’ contributions! To show our appreciation, we regularly conduct appreciation events and volunteer engagement activities – both physically, and now, virtually too! Some of our volunteers have even gone on to receive state level awards, which are given to those with exemplary contributions to the nation.
Volunteering with HTVN lets you contribute directly to the safety and security of our nation, the community and your loved ones. You'll play a part in the Home Team's vital mission and use your skills to make a real difference.
When you volunteer with any Home Team Department, you're automatically part of the 15,000-strong HTVN. Your efforts matter and help keep Singapore safe and secure, across the various domains.
Each Home Team agency plays a unique role in keeping Singapore safe and secure. Where would you like to make a difference?
I take pride in working with the regular officers, PNSFs, PNSmen and civilian staff to maintain law and order, and to keep Singapore safe. I also enjoy interacting with members of the public during our patrols and roadshows. I feel I am part of a larger family and this keeps inspiring me to do my best.

What motivates me to be an Anti-Drug Advocate (ADA) is that I hope to see a drug-free Singapore for the current and future generations, so that my peers and loved ones will never have to lose their dreams to drugs.
