Job Description
Being a social enterprise, City Sprouts believes in bringing people together and inspiring communities through shared green spaces, nature’s appreciation and education in sustainability. We are on a mission to reconnect individuals with nature, introduce new experiences and cultivate connections between people and their environment.
City Sprouts focuses on adaptive reuse of spaces, taking an Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach to sustainable community-driven development, drawing links from the community to the macro environment. Guided by ABCD, City Sprouts adaptively reuse spaces that are nestled in heartlands or near residential districts. Our flagship farm at Henderson was the former Henderson Secondary School; Punggol sheltered structures showcases green roofs and upcycled shipping containers, City Sprouts @ West Coast will be located within West Coast Park, our Pasir Ris hub within the former Loyang Primary School, and our latest addition of City Sprouts within Pasir Ris Park ready in 2027.
In our day-to-day, we run events and programmes for people to engage in nature and learn about eco-friendly lifestyles, as well as learning about the origins of food. Through this, we are also building social resilience and addressing issues of social isolation. As Singapore has revised its 2035 food targets to locally produce 20% of the nation's fibre consumption and 30% of its protein consumption, City Sprouts aim to raise people’s awareness that they too can contribute towards this goal by growing their own foods and supporting local farmers.
As we teach communities on picking up eco-friendly and sustainable habits, we also provide a platform for social enterprises, start-ups and community groups to build their capacity and capability and contribute back to society.
