Before we were formally registered as a society on 26 August 2010, we started engaging the Queenstown community through befriending in 2006, organising guided tours in 2008 and blogging in 2009. On 12 December 2015, My Community was registered as a charity under the Charities Act.

Today, My Community boasts almost 500 volunteers. Our first community museum in Queenstown was opened on 31 December 2018.
