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.
Moving HeARTs
in the City
A 5-week roving art truck exhibition across Singapore, Moving HeARTs in the City showcased the artistic talents of inmates and ex-offenders and driving the community towards an inclusive society, beyond second chances.
The theme "Our Journey, Our Hope" featured over 40 artworks produced by inmates and ex-offenders. You may view the catalogue and adopt their artwork from 1 Aug 2024.
Yellow Ribbon
Prison Run

Songwriting

The Yellow Ribbon Songwriting Competition is jointly organised with the Composers and Authors Society of Singapore (COMPASS).

Held in partnership with the Singapore Chefs' Association (SCA), the Yellow Ribbon Culinary Competition showcases the culinary talents and vast potential of inmates exploring a career in the Food and Beverage (F&B) sector.
