Who are we

My Community is a non-profit organisation which aims to preserve the common man's story for our collective memory.

Why are volunteers important to My Community

In My Community, volunteers are invited to help research and document social memories through community-based research. With the collected memories, volunteers are given the opportunity to co-create exhibitions and organise programmes, festival, and tours to celebrate our shared culture and heritage. By engaging and involving the community, volunteers can champion greater community involvement and ownership in cultural management and urban governance
