There are many possibilities for volunteer engagement that involves meeting people and doing artistic activities.
To actually do paid work, you either need your own work permit or employment pass, or a Letter of Consent (from MoM) allowing you to work on a dependent pass. As far as I know, none of these is given for part-time work, or for jobs that differ greatly from your previous experience.

It depends on what you want to do. There are tonnes of volunteer activities out there such as:
Orphanages
Homes of the elderly
Giving tuition to children from low income families
And many more!

Try www.sgcares.org for volunteering opportunities in welfare organisations.
In the past, I volunteered in theatres, arts events and music festivals, but there is no central register like the above, so you need to approach individual organizers.
