Its network includes 2,000 grassroots organisations (GROs), over 100 community clubs, five community development councils, five passion wave outlets, Impact, and the National Community Leadership Institute.
The PA and its GROs promote national unity by bringing people together, bridging communities, fostering new friendships and creating stronger bonds. Through its network, it strives to build a ‘resilient and cohesive community’ that stands together, regardless of diversity and differences within the community, to achieve “one people, one Singapore”.
Different communities keep their distinct identities and cultural values while moving and interacting with one another in the common space. The vision of PA is one of all communities bonding closely together, increasing the common space and strengthening the nation.
