Step Into Your Next Chapter with Courage
Social Service Reternships, Hiring News and Courage Kopi Chats
๐ Social Service Info Sessions Recap
It was wonderful hosting >100 community members across 2 Social Service Info Sessions, with our dear panellists & moderator.
They shared stories, candid opinions & did not mince their words about sector realities. We caught a glimpse of what makes a successful transition and the passion that goes behind the work they do every day. Glad that many could join us, and we look forward to seeing some of you at our #ReternshipProgramme.

โ Next Courage Kopi Meet: Navigating Life Transitions with Purpose
With change comes uncertainty. With uncertainty comes the call for courage. And we believe courage grows strongest in ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ.
We recently held a wonderful workshop on โ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐โ, grounded in practical, research-backed frameworks - William Bridgesโ Transition Model and Positive Psychology. Our community walked away with deeper reflections on self-identity and visualized their โideal futureโ through a creative (Points of You) vision board.
It was a privilege to hold space for such honest and meaningful reflections, and to gently guide our community toward clarity in their next chapter.
Weโve been encouraged to run these workshops more frequently and would love for you to join us next!
