About NEA Volunteer Corps

Protecting the environment and upkeeping good public health and hygiene is the responsibility of everyone in the community. As individuals, we can all do this by first personally adopting environmentally friendly lifestyle habits, as well as good personal hygiene practices.

As part of the NEA Volunteer Corps, you can go a step further, by helping everyone around us become much more aware of this shared responsibility. You can play a big part in guiding others to do their part, so that collectively, we can all continue to enjoy a Clean & Green Singapore.

Volunteer opportunities offered by the NEA Volunteer Corps include public outreach deployments to promote dengue prevention, a litter-free Singapore, clean public toilets, reducing waste and recycling, conducting patrols to engage environmental offenders, and auditing your own residential estate’s cleanliness.
