People's Association

The People’s Association (PA) was established as a statutory board on 1 July 1960 to promote racial harmony and social cohesion in Singapore.

We do so through our network of:

Over 1,800 grassroots organisations
Community Clubs
Five Community Development Councils
National Youth Council
National Community Leadership Institute
Outward Bound Singapore
Water Venture outlets

To achieve our mission in building and bridging communities to achieve one people, one Singapore, we initiate and offer a wide range of programmes and services to cater to the needs and interests of Singaporeans from all walks of life.

Together with its grassroots organisations, PA constantly strives to improve and achieve service excellence. On 31 March 2005, PA introduced a service pledge which highlights service values that are critical to the organisation.
