Our Founding
CAPE, or the Community for Advocacy & Political Education, a student organisation based in Yale-NUS College, was founded in 2017 by students from Yale-NUS College and the Law Faculty of the National University of Singapore (NUS).
Our Mission
We are a community that examines local and global affairs relating to civil society, and provides avenues for Singaporeans to contribute constructively to our civic life.
Our Vision
We envision a Singapore where citizens are politically conscious and are proactively engaged in civil society, policy making and social change. Towards this aim, we are focused on building capacity for political literacy and making civil participation more accessible.
