What Our Volunteers Say
Juan Manuel Benitez
"Always wanted to give back to society a little of what I have received and found in Conjunct Consulting the way to do this. Is impressive the level of professionalism and dedication from everyone in the company and it's energizing working with students that just like me once want to eat and conquer the world! If you want to contribute for a better world, this is the path!"
Shawn Van
"Conjunct Consulting has definitely been one of the highlights of my university's life. I was able to use my skills to solve complex problems to help social good organisations in Singapore to further their causes. Also, I got to make friends with some of the most amazing, inspiring and passionate individuals I have met."
Xiang Ling Baey
"Volunteering with Conjunct Consulting has been an incredibly meaningful and rewarding experience for me. In our projects, we get to serve social good organisations to solve complex problems and further their impact. Having the social good organisations affirm your team’s recommendations makes all the hard work worthwhile. The Conjunct community too is great. Professionals and students alike bring their skills and time to the table, and it has always been fun to bond with (and learn from) committed and talented individuals across various domains."
Valerie Phua
"As a Social Work student, Conjunct Consulting provided me the opportunity to complement my university education through gaining insight into social sector strategy, and how to creatively problem-solve. The invaluable exposure to board-level concerns I received will definitely inform my practice. Conjunct defined my university experience in many ways, I couldn’t have asked for a more brilliant and supportive community than I found here."
Danielle Sim
"Volunteering with Conjunct is a meaningful and fun journey. The Conjunct team of volunteers and staff are full of passionate and smart people wanting to create impact, and working with Conjunct's social good partners has deepened my appreciation for the important social work that takes place in Singapore. "
Michelle Siacor
"Having been involved in multiple volunteer work previously, working on projects with Conjunct Consulting has been truly a rewarding and unique experience. It’s given me fresh perspectives on the needs of the social sector; not just from beneficiaries’ point of view, but from the organisations’ point of view as well! Ofcourse, it’s great to collaborate with like-minded individuals who care passionately about the social space too."
Weisheng Lim
"More so than simply being an avenue to hone one's consulting toolkit, the two dimensions of Conjunct Consulting that resonate most strongly with me are firstly the opportunity to be part of something bigger through creating value for all the stakeholders within the third sector, and secondly the tight-knit Conjunct family that welcomes everyone. Through my time here, I have been blessed to have had the privilege to work with the bright minds and big hearts that the professionals and my peers here are, and to watch our all efforts culminate in the empowerment of many communities beyond!"
Brendan Ong
"My passion for social sector grew stronger after joining Conjunct Consulting! I gained a new perspective on how to tackle social issues and assist the social good organisations in Singapore! "
Sammie Lim
"Eye-opening, challenging, meaningful - 3 key words to best describe my last 3 years with Conjunct. I have had the privilege to work with amazing volunteers from partners to Project Advisors to fellow consultants, who exposed me to new perspectives and showed me what dedication looks like and what passion stands for. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to do my part to drive change in the sector with Conjunct Consulting, to help our partners do what they do even better!"
Brian Liu
"Taking the time out to collaborate with the student-consultants on real client problems in the meaningful non-profit space adds so much value and purpose to all that are involved. Seeing the students put in the time and effort to truly help is always inspiring for me and frankly, I can tell that the client orgnanizations are themselves grateful, inspired and pleasantly surprised with the quality and professional output. Working the the conjunct team is part of a virtuous cycle of doing good that I would recommend to anyone looking to pour their life experiences into solving problems and community building. "
Ho Wen Siang
"Conjunct Consulting has provided me with an unparalleled experience as an undergraduate. I’ve had to privilege to work alongside talented and diligent individuals who are not blind to the needs of our society, but wholeheartedly commit their time and effort into serving the community in a different way. At the same time, the training, mentoring and support from the community has contributed substantially to my professional development."
Tan Hean Shuen
"I have two main takeaways from Conjunct: (1) The people and (2) Client and project management skills. Firstly, Conjunct allowed me to meet many like-minded people who have very interesting backgrounds and are incredibly talented in whatever they do. I am proud to be a part of such a community and to continue to see it grow and be a key part of many students' undergrad experience. Secondly, through managing a project and subsequently overseeing multiple projects, I definitely picked up many valuable experiences relating to client/partner and project management."
Peter Wood
"My time as a volunteer with Conjunct has allowed me to leverage my consulting experience to help two stakeholder groups: partner organisations and student consultants. Not-for-profits are often most in need of consulting support but least able to afford it. Students get a real insight into what consulting involves - both the highs and the lows!"
Debbie Kuek
"Conjunct Consulting has given me the opportunity to work with likeminded individuals to do good in the social sector. I was able to develop and hone my consulting skill-sets in a supportive environment, while creating impact for our partners. It has been an enriching and memorable journey in my university life!"
Eunice Chua

Through the project experiences, I also learnt how to purposefully conduct research, make analytical links to the problems faced by the agencies, and effectively communicate our concluded insights. I am deeply honoured to have been given the opportunity to be a part of the Conjunct community."
