Yellow Ribbon Project (YRP)
The Yellow Ribbon Project was launched in 2004 by the former President of the Republic of Singapore Mr S. R. Nathan. It seeks to engage the community in accepting ex-offenders and their families, giving them a second chance at life, and to inspire a ripple effect of concerted community action to support ex-offenders and their families.
The objectives of the Yellow Ribbon Project are to:
- Raise Awareness of the need to give second chances to ex-offenders and their families.
- Generate Acceptance of ex-offenders and their families in the community.
- Inspire community Action to support the rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-offenders back into society.
You can contribute to this cause through community outreach, volunteering at Yellow Ribbon events or imparting your skills to beneficiaries. Your efforts will help encourage a more accepting society and the successful reintegration of ex-offenders.
