About The Narrative Nest

The Narrative Nest Singapore develops and delivers experiential learning programmes that connect people, places, and stories through meaningful educational experiences.

We work with schools, community organisations, government agencies, and social impact partners to design engaging programmes that encourage curiosity, critical thinking, civic awareness, and lifelong learning.

Our work spans learning journeys, youth development programmes, environmental education, public speaking, digital literacy, community engagement, and experiential workshops for diverse audiences.

As we expand our facilitator pool, we are looking for confident, reliable, and engaging facilitators to support guided learning experiences across Singapore.

Role Overview

As a Discovery Journey Facilitator, you will lead participants through structured educational experiences in community and public spaces, helping them connect concepts, stories, and real-world observations through discussion and guided exploration.
