Build Good Lives

Ever wondered what it’s like to work with students with disabilities? Hear the stories from our dedicated teachers and allied professionals!

We are dedicated to nurturing children and youth with disabilities into adults who enjoy learning, strive for independence, and develop strong ties to their communities. Our outcomes-based functional curriculum enables them to build a Good Life, where they are safe, healthy, connected, engaged, independent, included, and heard.

A GOOD GIFT fundraising campaign aims to raise $50,000 in support of Rainbow Centre’s low resource families, programmes to reduce caregiver stress and social isolation, and efforts to cultivate more research and innovation driven practices.

As we welcome the Lunar New Year, we invite you to join us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our children with disabilities and their families.

Donations are 250% tax deductible and may qualify for dollar-for-dollar matching from the Tote Board until 31 Mar 2025.

We are pleased to share that Rainbow Centre’s Annual Report FY 2023/2024 is now live!

This report highlights the key achievements, initiatives, and milestones we reached over the past financial year.

We are deeply humbled by the incredible support of our dedicated families, partners, staff, and volunteers, without whom none of this would have been possible.

At Rainbow Centre, we believe in creating a society where individuals with autism and multiple disabilities are empowered to learn, grow, and participate meaningfully in the community. Through the #BeyondDisabilities campaign, we hope to provide essential resources, support and education that enable them to thrive.

Your support will enable us to meet the three critical areas of needs: (1) strengthen support for low-resource families; (2) sustain and expand underfunded programmes to ensure care continuity and development opportunities; and (3) invest in innovative solutions to address gaps in services and enhance meaningful engagement.

Together, we can move #BeyondDisabilities and help build Good Lives!

The Rainbow Centre Scholarship is now open to outstanding full-time undergraduate or postgraduate students who aspire to work with children and youths with disabilities as allied professionals!

Qualifying courses of study include: Social Work, Occupational Therapy, and Speech and Language Therapy (undergraduate) and Psychology, and Speech and Language Pathology (postgraduate).

Application is open till 12 April 2025.

Our Good Life Befrienders (GLBF) Programme aims to reduce social isolation through befriending, by pairing two befrienders with a youth to partake in shared interests and develop meaningful relationships.

If you are looking to help young adults with disabilities stay connected to the community, join us as a befriender today!

An inclusive society starts with learning how to practise inclusion. Volunteering allows you to understand inclusion work by supporting and engaging with our students.

Your presence will help expand their world and enable them to practise their communication skills toward more meaningful and independent lives. Join us on our journey to build good lives for persons with disabilities!

Some of our volunteer roles available:

• Resource Making


• Activity Facilitator @ Young Adult Activities (YAA!) or Out-Of-School-Hours (OOSH)

Rainbow Centre’s Artability is a talent development programme for students aged 15-18 years old to develop their visual art styles through training and opportunities.

Shop exceptional artworks by our budding artists! All proceeds will directly enable us to support our low resource families, inadequately funded programmes, and efforts to pilot innovative projects to address growing needs for quality engagement.

Partnering and training individuals and organisations is our way of building an ecosystem for our clients’ long-term wellbeing and empowers the public to take action for a more inclusive Singapore.
