About This Opportunity
Peer Leaders are our recovery champions who advocate against drug abuse. Having suffered deeply from drug abuse, they share their personal experiences and motivate youths at-risk, those in recovery and others to stay away from drugs.
The Peer Leaders Programme is aimed at grooming persons in recovery to serve as role models and peer mentors. They must show a willingness to serve and must possess leadership qualities.

Back in the 1970s, young people abusing drugs were seen as a growing problem. The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) was set up in 1971 to combat the drug problem. At that time, there was only one government drug treatment centre on St John’s Island, without any halfway house or aftercare facility.
The government then felt it was necessary to get more Singaporeans to participate and complement the work of CNB. SANA was formed on 19 August 1972 with the late Dr Ee Peng Liang as its first president. Prominent civil servants were appointed to form SANA’s first Board of Management.
