History
The MCCY was formed on 1 November 2012 as part of a structural reform by the then Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS). The MCYS became the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and transferred several of its portfolios, such as Youth Development and Sports to MCCY.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pmo.gov.sg/Newsroom/press-statement-prime-minister-new-ministries|title=Restructuring of MCYS and MICA and establishment of new Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY)|website=PMO|access-date=7 June 2019|date=31 July 2012}}
