About Us
We are a non-profit organization born from the passion and determination of Portuguese volunteers residing in Singapore.
The Portuguese Association of Singapore began with a small group of parents who wanted to come together around their shared heritage and introduce their children to activities rooted in Portuguese language and culture.
What started as family gatherings quickly grew into a broader community initiative, bringing together Portuguese, Portuguese-speaking friends, and lovers of Portuguese culture.
Today, APS provides social, cultural, and professional opportunities that foster mutual exchange and a genuine sense of belonging.
Now a collective project, the association belongs to all of us who share the same language, heritage, and cultural pride.
We have laid the foundations — but together, we can make it grow.
If you have ideas, skills, or time to contribute, we welcome you to volunteer and shape the future of our community.
