We’re deeply grateful to share that Skillseed has received support from the 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁’𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲, in partnership with SHINE Children & Youth Services , for the next chapter of 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀: 𝗔 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

At the heart of Resilience Trails are our Community Guides - residents from lower-income communities who lead neighbourhood walks rooted in their lived experiences, strengths and stories. Since its pilot, the programme has created meaningful micro-work opportunities for Guides while strengthening confidence, storytelling, facilitation and community leadership skills.

With RT Plus, we’re excited to deepen this work together with our Guides and SHINE: by widening each Guide’s circle of neighbourly support, bringing more community stakeholders into the Trails, and growing a new Resilience Trails community in Bukit Merah.

A key part of this next chapter is intentionally growing towards deeper community ownership. Together with our Guides, we will be growing a model where Resident Volunteer Facilitators (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1LZ5MGDNTr/) - neighbours from the community - can co-lead the Trails alongside our Community Guides, gradually taking on roles that are currently held by Skillseed facilitators. Our hope is that this will deepen neighbourliness, strengthen social mixing and support, and create more room for residents themselves to shape and carry the work.

To us, this feels like a very exciting next milestone as we continue moving from building 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 communities towards building 𝗯𝘆 communities.

It is also a reminder that Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) is not about getting everything “right” from day one.

If you're a community practitioner looking to move beyond techniques to transform how you practise, this workshop is designed for you.

Every Resilience Trail is made possible by facilitators who help create a space where stories can be shared, heard, and reflected upon.

One of our Associate Facilitators, Joan, has been one of those steady presences who brings both heart and energy to every trail. Meticulous in all that she does, personable in the way she connects with others and always bringing a grounding presence wherever she goes. Joan helps create a welcoming space for our Community Guides and participants. One moment that stayed with her was witnessing a participant deeply moved by a Community Guide's story, with others responding through hugs and heartfelt appreciation, a reminder that meaningful connections can grow simply by listening to one another. 🫶

For Joan, being able to help the Community Guides convey their valuable first-hand stories of lived experiences to a wider audience, especially the younger generation, is something she feels deeply grateful for and we're similarly grateful to have her on this journey with us. For all the care, thoughtfulness, and joy she brings to every Resilience Trail. Thank you, Joan! 💛

Feeling inspired by Joan? If you're looking for a way to contribute to your community in the comfort of your own neighbourhood, why not join us as a Resident Volunteer Facilitator? Come journey alongside our Community Guides and be part of the Resilience Trails community!

10 years ago, Jia Min walked through the doors of Skillseed's old office to attend two gatherings about living and serving with purpose. Unknowingly, it marked the start of a decade working together through different phases of Skillseed's journey from international collaborations to ad-hoc facilitation events and our Resilience Trails.

We're grateful to be part of her journey too, working together to turn our shared values into action. As one of our Associate Facilitators, Jia Min has helped shape experiences on the ground and journeyed alongside our Community Guides, participants, and our team through many conversations, stories, and moments of growth.

When asked what was her favourite thing about Skillseed, she mentioned its people-oriented culture. "Rather than a transactional relationship, I've always felt trusted, cared for and encouraged to raise any concerns or doubts."

Whether it was lending her technical expertise behind the scenes or holding space for purposeful conversations on the trails, she brought care and intention to every experience. Jia Min recalls that her facilitation journey has been “meaningful, humbling, and grounding”, perhaps that's why a story from our Community Guide, Janet, continues to move her every single time she hears it. It's a quiet reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can leave a lasting impact, something that has stayed with Jia Min throughout the years.

Behind every Resilience Trail is plenty of planning, teamwork, and a whole lot of preparation! 🫶🙆🏻‍♂️

Here are three essentials that come with us on every trail:

📁The guide file helps participants discover more about our Community Guides’ initiatives, and their stories behind the neighbourhood.

🎤 Receivers make it easier for our participants to hear each story while moving through the neighbourhood together.

⛑️ And of course, a first aid kit is always packed too, one of those essentials we hope we never need, but always make sure to have.
