Chua Thian Poh Community Leadership Programme

Established with a generous gift of S$5 million from Mr Chua Thian Poh, the Chua Thian Poh Community Leadership Programme aims to groom Singapore’s next generation of community leaders. These future leaders will not only be intellectually engaged in social and community issues, but will also be passionate about addressing social and community challenges in Singapore. Driven by a sense of true calling to mobilise the community to collectively solve social problems, they will be tomorrow’s change makers.

Based at University Town (UTown), the programme will be funded from an endowment of S$12.25 million with the government’s matching grant. Each year, a small number of NUS undergraduates drawn from various Faculties and Schools will be admitted into the programme. Students in the programme will have the opportunity to read modules relevant to community leadership; conduct research on topical social issues such as poverty, chronic unemployment and ageing; engage in an attachment with a social service organisation; as well as interact with outstanding local and overseas community leaders, social service organisation leaders, social entrepreneurs and academics at talks and workshops.
