All About Active Community Leaders

[voltes5]

Hi,


I was wondering if there are new experiences that parents can share regarding the grassroots route? I’m quite interested as it helps me kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Sincerely want to be active in the grassroots/community and if it can help with my children to a desired school, why not?

once upon a time, i found a website that was an online search site - you key in your block and street address and it spits out a pdf document will all the relevant information like which cdc, which grc, which rc/nc etc etc that the block belongs to. now i can’t find it. does anyone know?


thanks.

ok. nevermind, i found it.

it was so simple in the end. at the bottom of the CDC website, there is a search box called 'district detector'. key in your postal code and it will spit out a page with:
cdc details
grc
grc division
neighbourhood committee
other committees in the same division
communitee centers in the division

On the topic of grassroots, I recalled someone saying that you can select schools either in the GRC that you volunteer in or the GRC that you stay. Is that correct?


Thanks!

Yes you can choose the school you want to enroll in the GRC.

Thanks for your reply. But my question is more of in the event that someone volunteers in another GRC that he is not staying in, by the time it comes to the registration, can the person decide to opt for schools within the GRC that he is staying in? Or can he only opt for the GRC that he volunteers in?

A person cannot volunteer for a GRC they are not staying in and use that to get phase 2B status.Imagine then the Bukit Timah GRC will be swamped with grassroot volunteers from the whole of Singapore!

Hi,


Just to verify, once your are an observer, and confirm you will be a Executive member right?

Do we need to be wait for 3 years to be endorsed as a Grassroot leaders then can choose the school?

Or we can choose the school in phase 2B as executive member?

[norman08]

can anyone explain the part on GRC members able to choose up to 3 schools max? Does that mean, member can register concurrently at 3 sch?

please note that a new circular has been released. Only GRL with at least 1 year of continous service can register under phase 2B
