5 Meaningful Dates To Go On At Youth Corps Singapore’s Do Good Fest

Looking for something more fulfilling than your typical dates? Whether you’ve just started dating or have been together for years, meaningful experiences can bring you closer in ways small talk never will.

That’s where Youth Corps Singapore’s Do Good Fest comes in. Happening till end-July, it’s a celebration of youth-led service, packed with volunteering programmes, workshops, and interactive booths that let you do good together — and have fun while you’re at it.

If you’re looking to switch things up, here are 5 date ideas you can try with Youth Corps.

1. The Escape Room Date

Try it at: Youth Corps Singapore Open House

Ready for a little friendly competition? Solve your way out of a mini escape room and find out whether you two communicate and collaborate well. This free workshop is part of the Youth Corps Open House line-up and makes for an exciting, low-pressure way to bond. Think teamwork, laughter, and the shared joy of cracking clues together.

2. The Outdoorsy Date

Try it at: The Greenies 

Love the outdoors? Spend your next date on Singapore’s waters — paddling side-by-side in a kayak while collecting litter to protect our waterways. It’s active, it’s refreshing, and it’s deeply rewarding to know your time together made a real impact on the environment. Plus, teamwork in a tandem kayak? Always a fun test.

3. The Creative Crafts Date

Try it at: heARTistic Companions

If you’re into slower-paced dates, give this art jamming session a go — but with a twist. Instead of focusing on the end result, it’s all about the people you’re creating with. Crafting alongside seniors offers a chance to connect across generations and turns a simple afternoon into something truly meaningful.

4. The Study Date (With a Twist)

Try it at: KidsLearn 

A quiet afternoon guiding young learners through reading games may not sound like much, but KidsLearn makes it surprisingly rewarding. As you cheer kids on together, you’ll not only connect with the little ones — you might just catch a heart-melting preview of your partner’s parenting style.

5. The Breakfast Date

Try it at: Makan & Mingle

Kick off your weekend with something a little more meaningful than brunch. At Makan & Mingle, you’ll share breakfast with seniors and dive into old-school games that bring back childhood memories. It’s the kind of date that fills your belly and your heart — creating real connection across generations.
