NCSS 40 Under 40 – Celebrating Our Founder’s Journey 👏🥳
We are proud to share that our founder and director, Sze Jin, has been selected as part of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) 40 under 40, 2025 — a recognition that celebrates individuals making a meaningful impact in Singapore’s social service sector.
Earlier this month, she attended the NCSS 40 under 40 Welcome Day Programme, a day filled with connection, learning, and inspiration. The session included a sharing by Sherman Ho, an alumnus of the programme, who reflected on his journey and led a lively icebreaker game. The day continued with engaging indoor and outdoor activities led by FOCUS Adventure, which brought together the 2025 cohort in a spirit of teamwork and youthful energy.
This milestone is not just a recognition of our founder’s contributions, but also a reflection of the dedication, compassion, and resilience of the entire A Kind Place team — past, present, and future. Since our beginnings in 2021, every step forward has been made possible by the belief and support of our community, partners, and collaborators.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to:
- raiSE SG for the nomination and their continued trust in our mission
- Cassandra Chow and her team for their belief and encouragement
- Hazman A. and his team at Republic Polytechnic for their ongoing support
- Ryan Yim for his invaluable mentorship and patience
This recognition reminds us of our shared commitment: to build a kinder, more inclusive Singapore, one person at a time. 💜
