A digital concierge for public agency volunteer opportunities

Arts & Heritage, Sports, Youth

As part of Singapore’s push towards becoming a Smart Nation, digitalisation will be a key pillar of MCCY’s efforts to better serve citizens through technology.

This includes a new digital platform for volunteers to plan and manage their volunteer journeys, the use of technology to transform experiences and better engage Singaporeans in the arts and culture, and leveraging technology to enhance sports safety.

Working together to realise youth vision for Singapore

Youth

The SG Youth Action plan, to be developed by youth in close collaboration with MCCY in 2019, will chart a vision for Singapore in 2025. Youth can play an active role in realising this vision, starting with the revamp of the Youth Belt at Somerset. This collaborative approach will empower the next generation of Singaporeans with a sense of ownership and belonging to the nation.

Appointment of seven Volunteer Centres to better address towns’ needs

Community

MCCY will be partnering community groups to establish seven Volunteer Centres that will help to train and deploy volunteers to better meet the needs of residents in their respective towns. The model taps on the power of the community in coming together, to build a more caring and inclusive Singapore.
