“As Hong Kong’s next generation of leaders, our city’s teens are catalysts for positive social change.”
Youth Empowered ‘23-24 puts up to 30 high-school students in the driver’s seat to learn about Hong Kong’s social needs, engage with nonprofit leaders and develop and run service activities that engage hundreds of youth participants—from supporting the elderly to educating children and refugees, to rescuing discarded food and empowering migrant domestic workers.
YOUTH EMPOWERED ’23-24 is made possible with the generous support of The Starbucks Foundation.
