Community Auditor

Launched in September 2020, the Community Auditor Programme aims to enhance the cleanliness of private residential estates through community engagement and participation. The programme recruits residents of private estates to serve as Community Auditors to conduct audits on the performance of the Integrated Public Cleaning Service Providers.

Community Auditors will receive training on topics such as cleaning for public health, operations of public cleaning services, economics of providing such services in a cost-effective manner and principles of auditing the cleaning performance of service providers. Community Auditors can submit their findings and observations online for NEA to conduct follow-ups with the service providers.

The Community Auditor Programme is currently under review, and recruitment will be paused until further notice.

For enquiries regarding the programme, please contact Nuraslina_Sulaiman@nea.gov.sg (opens in new tab)  or Shi_Hanqi@nea.gov.sg (opens in new tab)

Community Volunteer

The Community Volunteer (CV) Programme was launched in 2013 to encourage greater community ownership, and to leverage social pressure for greater deterrence against litterbugs. The programme was previously only open to members of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and public officers.

As members of the public and CVs have expressed interest in playing a more active role in keeping our environment clean, NEA now allows individuals to join the CV programme without having to be affiliated with any recognised environmental group. These CVs will be empowered to engage offenders for a wider range of offences which include:

  • Littering in public places;

  • Pet defecation in public places;

  • Smoking in prohibited places;

  • Spitting in public places;

  • Urinating in public places; and

  • Leaving the engine of a stationary vehicle running

Should CVs observe any smoky vehicle on the road, they could take down details of the vehicle, date, time of offence and submit to NEA for follow-up action. CVs can choose to focus on educating offenders on taking ownership of the environment, supporting research in specialised areas of work, or participating in public outreach and educational activities.

All CVs are required to adopt a ‘Bright Spot’ or any preferred area and keep it clean. Monthly activities will be carried out at the adopted areas by CVs.

To help CVs perform this role effectively, NEA will provide comprehensive training and assessment before they are issued with an authority card (i.e. to facilitate requests for particulars) against any non-compliant environmental offender. Offenders’ particulars will be submitted to NEA for follow-up action.

Criteria for community volunteers:

  • Aged 18 to 80 years old*

  • Singapore citizen or Permanent Resident

  • Physically and mentally fit

  • No prior criminal records

  • No previous offences under NEA’s jurisdiction

  • Mature, responsible, and committed

  • Passionate about keeping the environment clean and green

*Applicant must be 76 years old and below at time of registration.

Recruitment for the next intake will open in 2027. For any enquiries, please email Community_Volunteers@nea.gov.sg (opens in new tab).

To validate a CV’s identity, you may verify through the NEA website https://www.nea.gov.sg/validate-officer (opens in new tab) using the CV’s name and authority card number.

Clean & Green Singapore Ambassadors

The Clean & Green Singapore Ambassadors consist of volunteers who share a vision and passion for fostering a “Clean & Green” culture as a way of life in Singapore.

Clean & Green Singapore Ambassadors are deployed at many locations across the island, such as transport hubs (MRT stations and bus interchanges), hawker centres, residential estates, and also at major public events such as the National Day Parade and River Hongbao. 

The Ambassadors has been the backbone of public outreach in various national public health campaigns such as Dengue Prevention, Cleaner Public Toilets and environmental sustainability campaigns such as Say YES to Waste Less and Recycle Right, as well.

Interested members of the public or partner organisations can sign up at https://go.gov.sg/cgsambassadors (opens in new tab) or email NEA_Volunteer@nea.gov.sg (opens in new tab) for further enquiries.
