About Us

The People's Association (PA) was established on 1 July 1960 as a statutory board to promote racial harmony and social cohesion in Singapore. Our mission is to build and bridge communities in achieving one people, one Singapore.

PA offers a wide range of programmes to cater to Singaporeans from all walks of life - connecting people to people, and people and government. We do this through our network of 1,800 grassroots organisations (GROs), over 100 Community Clubs, five Community Development Councils, National Community Leadership Institute and Water-Venture outlets.


Vision for the community

A Great Home and A Caring Community, where we

  • Share our Values
  • Pursue our Passions
  • Fulfil our Hopes, and
  • Treasure our Memories

The vision statement describes a great home where every Singaporean feels a strong sense of belonging, pride and rootedness, and a caring community where residents take initiative to organise meaningful activities for the community, and where neighbours care and look out for one another.
