History

George Stokes was sent to Hong Kong by the British Christian Welfare Council to develop local youth services in 1960. He founded The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, which was then established under the provisions of the Societies Ordinance in 1962 and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance in 1970.

In the early days of its development, the Federation’s aims were to promote youth services by liaising with other youth organisations and by setting up youth centres in public housing estates. In the mid to late 1960s the Federation began to expand its own services to meet the changing and specific needs of young people. In 1967, a pioneer project known as “Detached Work” was set up to help young people who were unwilling to participate in centralised activities. This was the forerunner of today’s Outreaching Social Work.

In the 1970s, a Pilot Youth Guidance Project began to offer advice to young people with emotional or adjustment problems. This has expanded into the Youth Counselling Service. The Service March Project was also started at that time, aimed at promoting community service among youngsters. The School Social Work and Family Life Education services began by the late 1970s.

In 1981 the Federation revised its Constitution and set up a Service Unit to provide training for staff and members. It continued to expand, introducing new services and co-ordinating the development of premises. Youth exchange projects were initiated in the mid 1980s and study tours were arranged to a number of countries. With the setting up of the Lee Shau Kee Youth Exchange Fund in 1995, an increasing number could benefit from long-term exchange programmes in varying formats. With the change of sovereignty in 1997, ties between Hong Kong and the Mainland became more frequent and close, and the Federation began to strengthen its dialogue with Mainland colleagues through regular exchange and training programmes.

For over ten years, systematic research on youth issues and concerns has been a part of the Federation’s increasing programme portfolio. The monthly Youth Poll Series and the in-depth Youth Study Series were first published in early 1993. The Youth Research Centre opened in May 1996, to extend in-depth and scholarly resources to better provide targeted services.

In September 1998, special resolutions were passed again revising the Federation’s Constitution to include all necessary mandates pertaining to the operation of a school. September 2000 marked the Federation’s first step into the field of education with the establishment and operation of the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee Primary School in Tin Shui Wai. In September 2006 the Federation went one step further with the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College, a Direct Subsidy Scheme Secondary School, opening its doors in the same district.

In April 2000, Leadership 21 was set up by the Federation as a centre for the training of the city’s future leaders. As a long-term investment, the Federation is also committed to setting up a Leadership Institute in Hong Kong.

The Federation began a process of performance pledges in July 1997 and has published an Annual Plan since 2001 aiming to make its work both more transparent and accountable to the public. It has also formulated a Strategic Plan for the evaluation of services and budgeting.

In 2002 the Youth Centres changed their name to Youth S.P.O.Ts (Space for Participation, Opportunities and Training). Together with u21.hk, set up in the same year, the Federation’s presence in the community has increased and is more effective.

The Youth Employment Network was started in October 2002, offering job placements, training and counselling to school leavers and school dropouts. The purpose is really to nurture employability and offer practical guidance and help.

Set up in July 2003, the Partnership and Resource Development Office, focuses on seeking out corporate partners and sponsorship, both financial and in kind. This Office is especially necessary to ensure that other forms of funding might be established.

To facilitate a better understanding of young people across the border, the Federation and Peking University joined forces to set up the Youth Development Research Centre in April 2004. The Centre has produced six comparative studies on youth behaviour, social relationships and values and will continue such effort in a systematic manner.

In 2004-05, the Federation re-focused its services and a new implementation structure was set up to facilitate the delivery of ten Core Services over the coming five years. These Services are: e-Services, Youth Employment, Leadership Training, Volunteer Services, Services for Youth at Risk, Counselling Services, Education Services, Parent-child Mediation, Creativity Education and Youth Exchange and Leisure, Cultural and Sports Services, all of which aim to meet the multifarious needs of today’s young people. In 2009, the Core Services were expanded to 12, by including all the Youth S.P.O.Ts, as well as Research and Publications. In 2010, the 5”u-s” online platform was launched. With the uChannel, uCinema, u21 website, uPortal and uServices, connectivity with youth has been enhanced.

February 2008 marked a milestone for the Federation with the moving of all the administrative departments, and some service units into The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups Building on 21 Pak Fuk Road, North Point. Included in the new headquarters are Youth S.P.O.T. 21, the HKFYG Continuous Learning Centre, as well as Café 21, the first of a series of Youth Social Enterprise projects undertaken by the Youth Employment Network.

The Federation set up an Organic Farm in 2010. The aim is to promote, practically and through example, the importance of healthy living, sustainable development and environmental conservation.

From the President

For the past 17 years, it has been my honour and privilege to be associated with The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, first as a Member of the Youth Service Committee and, since 2006 as the President.

Over this period, I have been witness as the Federation met every manner of challenge –from economic down turns to health scares, from structural re-organisation to staff changes – head on, resolutely and optimistically, never losing sight of its mission to serve the young people of Hong Kong. This service to youth has in my opinion, been both creative and proactive. I have been most impressed by how, in walking side-by-side with tomorrow’s generation, every service, programme or activity nurtures participants to shine and grow.

I have also been deeply moved by the support that the Federation receives. I know that it is this shared vision that sustains our work and mission.

As end my tenure as President of the Federation this September, I would like to go on record to say thank you to:

first, all those in the wider community: all our donors, partners and of course friends. Without your support and encouragement, we would not have been able to grow and reach out in the ways that we have done over the years. Your heart for the young people of Hong Kong and confidence in our work is what keeps us going.

I would also like to thank my fellow Council and Committee Members. Each of you has been of immense support and I am so grateful for your wise counsel and guidance. honestly have been humbled by your confidence in me.

Last, but not least I take my hat off to the staff and especially to the Executive Director. Every member of staff, whether back-room or front-line, has

worked really hard with grace and dedication. They have ensured that the Federation’s myriad services, programmes and activities are carried out efficiently and effectively. It is only right then, that on behalf of the entire Council, I say how deeply appreciative we are all: our thanks to each and every one of you.

Even though am stepping down as President, I will continue to be of service to the Federation.

Allow me to conclude by wishing the Federation only the best for the next 50 years and beyond!

Thank you.

From the Executive Director

How does one sum up 50 years of service based on one simple mission: to provide the most relevant, accessible and needed services to the young people of Hong Kong?

Perhaps the answer lies in the following quotation I once read, When work, commitment and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible.

Herein lies the spirit, value and essence of how

The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups has grown and thrived in this ever changing city with increasingly complex challenges facing every new generation.

This is an organisation that has never wavered from its commitment to young people, believing, and continuing to believe, that only through their efforts lie the progress and sustainability of our collective future.

Our work over the past five decades would not have been possible without the dedication of hundreds of staff members. Blending together work, commitment and passion, they have served diligently, quietly, effectively and efficiently, meeting every situation with professionalism and care. I am so proud of them and from my own 35 years working in the Federation, I know how great their value is.

Beyond the staff, the Federation would never have been able to carry out its duty without the support of the community. From the government to individuals, from corporations to other NGOs, the Federation has benefited from the partnership, collaboration and friendship of many and we are both humbled and grateful for their faith in us.

And of course the young people themselves – the heart and soul of this vibrant, throbbing city. Since 1960, young men and women, boys and girls have

trusted the Federation to be there for them: to help them learn, to support them in crises, to nurture their potential and to offer them opportunities to grow and develop.

Work, commitment, pleasure and passion – these are the components that have not only sustained us thus far, but will continue to spur us on for the next 50 years and beyond. For we always keep in mind, that together nothing is impossible!

Thank you all.

Administration and Finance

Manual is in progress. With development and enhancement to the information technology systems, recommendations on how to improve internal controls were suggested. The staff have also begun to look into the issue of risk management.

As is the practice, the Internal Audit Office will report its work to the Audit Committee and the Council after the completion of the financial year.

Lee Shau Kee Primary School

The Incorporated Management Committee of HKFYG Lee Shau Kee Primary School was established on 30 August 2008 under the Education Ordinance. For the period from 30 August 2008 to 31 August 2009, the total income of the School was HK$24,218,976 and its expenditure was HK$25,123,945.

The operation of the School depends mainly on Government grants from the Education Bureau.

Lee Shau Kee College

After reviewing the mandates of the Committees, the Council re-constituted the Youth Service Committee. Now called the Youth Advisory Committee, new members will be made up of young people between the ages of 18 to 35. This change is to reflect the Federation’s commitment in providing young people a platform to air their views, while also honing their leadership potential. The changes will become effective only after the Annual General Meeting in September 2010.

Continuing to diversify and expand its services, the organisational chart on pages 104-105 indicates the sphere of responsibilities among Supervisors.

As of 31 March 2010, the Federation had a staff compliment of 1,285 persons, 450 of which are temporary posts created under the training and job-placement schemes to enhance the employability of youth and to facilitate their entrance into the workforce. Alongside this category are 588 staff members remunerated on contract terms and 247 staff on perennial terms, who occupy 70.4% of the regular posts.

Internal Controls

With its well defined policies and procedures, the Federation consistently ensures that there are sufficient checks and balances in place to monitor the internal controls of the organisation. Every effort is made to monitor compliance and to initiate any improvements as appropriate, as well as to evaluate the efficiency of resource utilisation.

Overseen by the Internal Audit Office, compliance checks were conducted on the overall operations of seven selected service units. In addition, compliance checks were also conducted on selected procedures for all service units, with one report being issued, and another report in progress. The staff also conducted analyses on resource utilisation and the overall financial performance of the organisation, with four reports being issued, and another six summarised findings had been prepared. Reviews and recommendations for improvements to four operational procedures were made, while the review to the Accounting

The total income of the Federation for 2009-10 was HK$356,187,305. Government subvention, which totalled HK$200,262,541, remained a major source of income.

To provide dynamic communication with the staff members, the Committee created a new Facebook account so that staff could keep abreast of the latest news and activities. Photos and videos filled with laughter and fun were also posted. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary, all staff had been invited to participate in the Happy 50th Birthday to the Federation Campaign and many creative videos showing their greetings were created.

Thanks to the generosity and kindness of the staff and their families, the Committee collected quite a number of cakes, noodles and daily necessaries as gifts to the needy living in Ping Shek during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lunar New Year. At the same time, members of the Volunteer Team also visited the elderly in these areas and helped paint the doors and gates of their homes.

To the staff members who participated in the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2010 organised by the Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association in February 2010, the Committee gave each a tee-shirt with “HKFYG Spirit” emblazoned on it.

Sporting abilities were also apparent at the Interagencies Basketball Tournament organised by the Hong Kong Playground Association and the Inter-agencies Football Tournament organised by the Hong Kong Social Workers’ General Union. The Federation men were second runners-up in the football with Mr. Hau How-man of NetWise Support Centre for Families the Top Scorer.

Congratulations to everyone!

I have also been deeply moved by the support that the Federation receives. I know that it is this shared vision that sustains our work and mission.

As end my tenure as President of the Federation this September, I would like to go on record to say thank you to:

first, all those in the wider community: all our donors, partners and of course friends. Without your support and encouragement, we would not have been able to grow and reach out in the ways that we have done over the years. Your heart for the young people of Hong Kong and confidence in our work is what keeps us going.

I would also like to thank my fellow Council and Committee Members. Each of you has been of immense support and I am so grateful for your wise counsel and guidance. honestly have been humbled by your confidence in me.

Last, but not least I take my hat off to the staff and especially to the Executive Director. Every member of staff, whether back-room or front-line, has

worked really hard with grace and dedication. They have ensured that the Federation’s myriad services, programmes and activities are carried out efficiently and effectively. It is only right then, that on behalf of the entire Council, I say how deeply appreciative we are all: our thanks to each and every one of you.

Even though am stepping down as President, I will continue to be of service to the Federation.

Allow me to conclude by wishing the Federation only the best for the next 50 years and beyond!

Thank you.

From the Executive Director

How does one sum up 50 years of service based on one simple mission: to provide the most relevant, accessible and needed services to the young people of Hong Kong?

Perhaps the answer lies in the following quotation I once read, When work, commitment and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible.

Herein lies the spirit, value and essence of how

The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups has grown and thrived in this ever changing city with increasingly complex challenges facing every new generation.

This is an organisation that has never wavered from its commitment to young people, believing, and continuing to believe, that only through their efforts lie the progress and sustainability of our collective future.

Our work over the past five decades would not have been possible without the dedication of hundreds of staff members. Blending together work, commitment and passion, they have served diligently, quietly, effectively and efficiently, meeting every situation with professionalism and care. I am so proud of them and from my own 35 years working in the Federation, I know how great their value is.

Beyond the staff, the Federation would never have been able to carry out its duty without the support of the community. From the government to individuals, from corporations to other NGOs, the Federation has benefited from the partnership, collaboration and friendship of many and we are both humbled and grateful for their faith in us.

And of course the young people themselves – the heart and soul of this vibrant, throbbing city. Since 1960, young men and women, boys and girls have

trusted the Federation to be there for them: to help them learn, to support them in crises, to nurture their potential and to offer them opportunities to grow and develop.

Work, commitment, pleasure and passion – these are the components that have not only sustained us thus far, but will continue to spur us on for the next 50 years and beyond. For we always keep in mind, that together nothing is impossible!

Thank you all.

Administration and Finance

Manual is in progress. With development and enhancement to the information technology systems, recommendations on how to improve internal controls were suggested. The staff have also begun to look into the issue of risk management.

As is the practice, the Internal Audit Office will report its work to the Audit Committee and the Council after the completion of the financial year.

The operation of the School depends mainly on Government grants from the Education Bureau.

Lee Shau Kee College

After reviewing the mandates of the Committees, the Council re-constituted the Youth Service Committee. Now called the Youth Advisory Committee, new members will be made up of young people between the ages of 18 to 35. This change is to reflect the Federation’s commitment in providing young people a platform to air their views, while also honing their leadership potential. The changes will become effective only after the Annual General Meeting in September 2010.

Continuing to diversify and expand its services, the organisational chart on pages 104-105 indicates the sphere of responsibilities among Supervisors.

As of 31 March 2010, the Federation had a staff compliment of 1,285 persons, 450 of which are temporary posts created under the training and job-placement schemes to enhance the employability of youth and to facilitate their entrance into the workforce. Alongside this category are 588 staff members remunerated on contract terms and 247 staff on perennial terms, who occupy 70.4% of the regular posts.

Internal Controls

With its well defined policies and procedures, the Federation consistently ensures that there are sufficient checks and balances in place to monitor the internal controls of the organisation. Every effort is made to monitor compliance and to initiate any improvements as appropriate, as well as to evaluate the efficiency of resource utilisation.

Overseen by the Internal Audit Office, compliance checks were conducted on the overall operations of seven selected service units. In addition, compliance checks were also conducted on selected procedures for all service units, with one report being issued, and another report in progress. The staff also conducted analyses on resource utilisation and the overall financial performance of the organisation, with four reports being issued, and another six summarised findings had been prepared. Reviews and recommendations for improvements to four operational procedures were made, while the review to the Accounting

The total income of the Federation for 2009-10 was HK$356,187,305. Government subvention, which totalled HK$200,262,541, remained a major source of income. The Federation also received allocations from the Community Chest of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and other trusts and foundations for recurrent general expenses and special projects.

The total expenditure for the year 2009-10 was HK$329,524,131, of which 67% of the expenditure was spent on personal emoluments, 29% on other charges and 4% on rent and rates.

To provide dynamic communication with the staff members, the Committee created a new Facebook account so that staff could keep abreast of the latest news and activities. Photos and videos filled with laughter and fun were also posted. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary, all staff had been invited to participate in the Happy 50th Birthday to the Federation Campaign and many creative videos showing their greetings were created.

Thanks to the generosity and kindness of the staff and their families, the Committee collected quite a number of cakes, noodles and daily necessaries as gifts to the needy living in Ping Shek during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lunar New Year. At the same time, members of the Volunteer Team also visited the elderly in these areas and helped paint the doors and gates of their homes.

To the staff members who participated in the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2010 organised by the Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association in February 2010, the Committee gave each a tee-shirt with “HKFYG Spirit” emblazoned on it.

Sporting abilities were also apparent at the Interagencies Basketball Tournament organised by the Hong Kong Playground Association and the Inter-agencies Football Tournament organised by the Hong Kong Social Workers’ General Union. The Federation men were second runners-up in the football with Mr. Hau How-man of NetWise Support Centre for Families the Top Scorer.

Congratulations to everyone!

History

George Stokes was sent to Hong Kong by the British Christian Welfare Council to develop local youth services in 1960. He founded The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, which was then established under the provisions of the Societies Ordinance in 1962 and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance in 1970.

In the early days of its development, the Federation’s aims were to promote youth services by liaising with other youth organisations and by setting up youth centres in public housing estates. In the mid to late 1960s the Federation began to expand its own services to meet the changing and specific needs of young people. In 1967, a pioneer project known as “Detached Work” was set up to help young people who were unwilling to participate in centralised activities. This was the forerunner of today’s Outreaching Social Work.

In the 1970s, a Pilot Youth Guidance Project began to offer advice to young people with emotional or adjustment problems. This has expanded into the Youth Counselling Service. The Service March Project was also started at that time, aimed at promoting community service among youngsters. The School Social Work and Family Life Education services began by the late 1970s.

In 1981 the Federation revised its Constitution and set up a Service Unit to provide training for staff and members. It continued to expand, introducing new services and co-ordinating the development of premises. Youth exchange projects were initiated in the mid 1980s and study tours were arranged to a number of countries. With the setting up of the Lee Shau Kee Youth Exchange Fund in 1995, an increasing number could benefit from long-term exchange programmes in varying formats. With the change of sovereignty in 1997, ties between Hong Kong and the Mainland became more frequent and close, and the Federation began to strengthen its dialogue with Mainland colleagues through regular exchange and training programmes.

For over ten years, systematic research on youth issues and concerns has been a part of the Federation’s increasing programme portfolio. The monthly Youth Poll Series and the in-depth Youth Study Series were first published in early 1993. The Youth Research Centre opened in May 1996, to extend in-depth and scholarly resources to better provide targeted services.

In September 1998, special resolutions were passed again revising the Federation’s Constitution to include all necessary mandates pertaining to the operation of a school. September 2000 marked the Federation’s first step into the field of education with the establishment and operation of the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee Primary School in Tin Shui Wai. In September 2006 the Federation went one step further with the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College, a Direct Subsidy Scheme Secondary School, opening its doors in the same district.

In April 2000, Leadership 21 was set up by the Federation as a centre for the training of the city’s future leaders. As a long-term investment, the Federation is also committed to setting up a Leadership Institute in Hong Kong.

The Federation began a process of performance pledges in July 1997 and has published an Annual Plan since 2001 aiming to make its work both more transparent and accountable to the public. It has also formulated a Strategic Plan for the evaluation of services and budgeting.

In 2002 the Youth Centres changed their name to Youth S.P.O.Ts (Space for Participation, Opportunities and Training). Together with u21.hk, set up in the same year, the Federation’s presence in the community has increased and is more effective.

The Youth Employment Network was started in October 2002, offering job placements, training and counselling to school leavers and school dropouts. The purpose is really to nurture employability and offer practical guidance and help.

Set up in July 2003, the Partnership and Resource Development Office, focuses on seeking out corporate partners and sponsorship, both financial and in kind. This Office is especially necessary to ensure that other forms of funding might be established.

To facilitate a better understanding of young people across the border, the Federation and Peking University joined forces to set up the Youth Development Research Centre in April 2004. The Centre has produced six comparative studies on youth behaviour, social relationships and values and will continue such effort in a systematic manner.

In 2004-05, the Federation re-focused its services and a new implementation structure was set up to facilitate the delivery of ten Core Services over the coming five years. These Services are: e-Services, Youth Employment, Leadership Training, Volunteer Services, Services for Youth at Risk, Counselling Services, Education Services, Parent-child Mediation, Creativity Education and Youth Exchange and Leisure, Cultural and Sports Services, all of which aim to meet the multifarious needs of today’s young people. In 2009, the Core Services were expanded to 12, by including all the Youth S.P.O.Ts, as well as Research and Publications. In 2010, the 5”u-s” online platform was launched. With the uChannel, uCinema, u21 website, uPortal and uServices, connectivity with youth has been enhanced.

February 2008 marked a milestone for the Federation with the moving of all the administrative departments, and some service units into The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups Building on 21 Pak Fuk Road, North Point. Included in the new headquarters are Youth S.P.O.T. 21, the HKFYG Continuous Learning Centre, as well as Café 21, the first of a series of Youth Social Enterprise projects undertaken by the Youth Employment Network.

The Federation set up an Organic Farm in 2010. The aim is to promote, practically and through example, the importance of healthy living, sustainable development and environmental conservation.

From the President

For the past 17 years, it has been my honour and privilege to be associated with The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, first as a Member of the Youth Service Committee and, since 2006 as the President.

Over this period, I have been witness as the Federation met every manner of challenge –from economic down turns to health scares, from structural re-organisation to staff changes – head on, resolutely and optimistically, never losing sight of its mission to serve the young people of Hong Kong. This service to youth has in my opinion, been both creative and proactive. I have been most impressed by how, in walking side-by-side with tomorrow’s generation, every service, programme or activity nurtures participants to shine and grow.

I have also been deeply moved by the support that the Federation receives. I know that it is this shared vision that sustains our work and mission.

As end my tenure as President of the Federation this September, I would like to go on record to say thank you to:

Without your support and encouragement, we would not have been able to grow and reach out in the ways that we have done over the years. Your heart for the young people of Hong Kong and confidence in our work is what keeps us going.

I would also like to thank my fellow Council and Committee Members. Each of you has been of immense support and I am so grateful for your wise counsel and guidance. honestly have been humbled by your confidence in me.

To celebrate the 50th Anniversary, all staff had been invited to participate in the Happy 50th Birthday to the Federation Campaign and many creative videos showing their greetings were created.

Thanks to the generosity and kindness of the staff and their families, the Committee collected quite a number of cakes, noodles and daily necessaries as gifts to the needy living in Ping Shek during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lunar New Year. At the same time, members of the Volunteer Team also visited the elderly in these areas and helped paint the doors and gates of their homes.

To the staff members who participated in the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2010 organised by the Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association in February 2010, the Committee gave each a tee-shirt with “HKFYG Spirit” emblazoned on it.

Sporting abilities were also apparent at the Interagencies Basketball Tournament organised by the Hong Kong Playground Association and the Inter-agencies Football Tournament organised by the Hong Kong Social Workers’ General Union. The Federation men were second runners-up in the football with Mr. Hau How-man of NetWise Support Centre for Families the Top Scorer.

Congratulations to everyone!

History

George Stokes was sent to Hong Kong by the British Christian Welfare Council to develop local youth services in 1960. He founded The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, which was then established under the provisions of the Societies Ordinance in 1962 and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance in 1970.

In the early days of its development, the Federation’s aims were to promote youth services by liaising with other youth organisations and by setting up youth centres in public housing estates. In the mid to late 1960s the Federation began to expand its own services to meet the changing and specific needs of young people. In 1967, a pioneer project known as “Detached Work” was set up to help young people who were unwilling to participate in centralised activities. This was the forerunner of today’s Outreaching Social Work.

In the 1970s, a Pilot Youth Guidance Project began to offer advice to young people with emotional or adjustment problems. This has expanded into the Youth Counselling Service. The Service March Project was also started at that time, aimed at promoting community service among youngsters. The School Social Work and Family Life Education services began by the late 1970s.

In 1981 the Federation revised its Constitution and set up a Service Unit to provide training for staff and members. It continued to expand, introducing new services and co-ordinating the development of premises. Youth exchange projects were initiated in the mid 1980s and study tours were arranged to a number of countries. With the setting up of the Lee Shau Kee Youth Exchange Fund in 1995, an increasing number could benefit from long-term exchange programmes in varying formats. With the change of sovereignty in 1997, ties between Hong Kong and the Mainland became more frequent and close, and the Federation began to strengthen its dialogue with Mainland colleagues through regular exchange and training programmes.

For over ten years, systematic research on youth issues and concerns has been a part of the Federation’s increasing programme portfolio. The monthly Youth Poll Series and the in-depth Youth Study Series were first published in early 1993. The Youth Research Centre opened in May 1996, to extend in-depth and scholarly resources to better provide targeted services.

In September 1998, special resolutions were passed again revising the Federation’s Constitution to include all necessary mandates pertaining to the operation of a school. September 2000 marked the Federation’s first step into the field of education with the establishment and operation of the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee Primary School in Tin Shui Wai. In September 2006 the Federation went one step further with the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College, a Direct Subsidy Scheme Secondary School, opening its doors in the same district.

In April 2000, Leadership 21 was set up by the Federation as a centre for the training of the city’s future leaders. As a long-term investment, the Federation is also committed to setting up a Leadership Institute in Hong Kong.

The Federation began a process of performance pledges in July 1997 and has published an Annual Plan since 2001 aiming to make its work both more transparent and accountable to the public. It has also formulated a Strategic Plan for the evaluation of services and budgeting.

In 2002 the Youth Centres changed their name to Youth S.P.O.Ts (Space for Participation, Opportunities and Training). Together with u21.hk, set up in the same year, the Federation’s presence in the community has increased and is more effective.

The Youth Employment Network was started in October 2002, offering job placements, training and counselling to school leavers and school dropouts. The purpose is really to nurture employability and offer practical guidance and help.

Set up in July 2003, the Partnership and Resource Development Office, focuses on seeking out corporate partners and sponsorship, both financial and in kind. This Office is especially necessary to ensure that other forms of funding might be established.

To facilitate a better understanding of young people across the border, the Federation and Peking University joined forces to set up the Youth Development Research Centre in April 2004. The Centre has produced six comparative studies on youth behaviour, social relationships and values and will continue such effort in a systematic manner.

In 2004-05, the Federation re-focused its services and a new implementation structure was set up to facilitate the delivery of ten Core Services over the coming five years. These Services are: e-Services, Youth Employment, Leadership Training, Volunteer Services, Services for Youth at Risk, Counselling Services, Education Services, Parent-child Mediation, Creativity Education and Youth Exchange and Leisure, Cultural and Sports Services, all of which aim to meet the multifarious needs of today’s young people. In 2009, the Core Services were expanded to 12, by including all the Youth S.P.O.Ts, as well as Research and Publications. In 2010, the 5”u-s” online platform was launched. With the uChannel, uCinema, u21 website, uPortal and uServices, connectivity with youth has been enhanced.

February 2008 marked a milestone for the Federation with the moving of all the administrative departments, and some service units into The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups Building on 21 Pak Fuk Road, North Point. Included in the new headquarters are Youth S.P.O.T. 21, the HKFYG Continuous Learning Centre, as well as Café 21, the first of a series of Youth Social Enterprise projects undertaken by the Youth Employment Network.

The Federation set up an Organic Farm in 2010. The aim is to promote, practically and through example, the importance of healthy living, sustainable development and environmental conservation.

From the President

For the past 17 years, it has been my honour and privilege to be associated with The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, first as a Member of the Youth Service Committee and, since 2006 as the President.

Over this period, I have been witness as the Federation met every manner of challenge –from economic down turns to health scares, from structural re-organisation to staff changes – head on, resolutely and optimistically, never losing sight of its mission to serve the young people of Hong Kong. This service to youth has in my opinion, been both creative and proactive. I have been most impressed by how, in walking side-by-side with tomorrow’s generation, every service, programme or activity nurtures participants to shine and grow.

I have also been deeply moved by the support that the Federation receives. I know that it is this shared vision that sustains our work and mission.

As end my tenure as President of the Federation this September, I would like to go on record to say thank you to:

first, all those in the wider community: all our donors, partners and of course friends. Without your support and encouragement, we would not have been able to grow and reach out in the ways that we have done over the years. Your heart for the young people of Hong Kong and confidence in our work is what keeps us going.

I would also like to thank my fellow Council and Committee Members. Each of you has been of immense support and I am so grateful for your wise counsel and guidance. honestly have been humbled by your confidence in me.

Last, but not least I take my hat off to the staff and especially to the Executive Director. Every member of staff, whether back-room or front-line, has

worked really hard with grace and dedication. They have ensured that the Federation’s myriad services, programmes and activities are carried out efficiently and effectively. It is only right then, that on behalf of the entire Council, I say how deeply appreciative we are all: our thanks to each and every one of you.

Even though am stepping down as President, I will continue to be of service to the Federation.

Allow me to conclude by wishing the Federation only the best for the next 50 years and beyond!

Thank you.

From the Executive Director

How does one sum up 50 years of service based on one simple mission: to provide the most relevant, accessible and needed services to the young people of Hong Kong?

Perhaps the answer lies in the following quotation I once read, When work, commitment and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible.

Herein lies the spirit, value and essence of how

The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups has grown and thrived in this ever changing city with increasingly complex challenges facing every new generation.

This is an organisation that has never wavered from its commitment to young people, believing, and continuing to believe, that only through their efforts lie the progress and sustainability of our collective future.

Our work over the past five decades would not have been possible without the dedication of hundreds of staff members. Blending together work, commitment and passion, they have served diligently, quietly, effectively and efficiently, meeting every situation with professionalism and care. I am so proud of them and from my own 35 years working in the Federation, I know how great their value is.

Beyond the staff, the Federation would never have been able to carry out its duty without the support of the community. From the government to individuals, from corporations to other NGOs, the Federation has benefited from the partnership, collaboration and friendship of many and we are both humbled and grateful for their faith in us.

And of course the young people themselves – the heart and soul of this vibrant, throbbing city. Since 1960, young men and women, boys and girls have

trusted the Federation to be there for them: to help them learn, to support them in crises, to nurture their potential and to offer them opportunities to grow and develop.

Work, commitment, pleasure and passion – these are the components that have not only sustained us thus far, but will continue to spur us on for the next 50 years and beyond. For we always keep in mind, that together nothing is impossible!

Thank you all.

Administration and Finance

Manual is in progress. With development and enhancement to the information technology systems, recommendations on how to improve internal controls were suggested. The staff have also begun to look into the issue of risk management.

As is the practice, the Internal Audit Office will report its work to the Audit Committee and the Council after the completion of the financial year.

The operation of the School depends mainly on Government grants from the Education Bureau.

Lee Shau Kee College

After reviewing the mandates of the Committees, the Council re-constituted the Youth Service Committee. Now called the Youth Advisory Committee, new members will be made up of young people between the ages of 18 to 35. This change is to reflect the Federation’s commitment in providing young people a platform to air their views, while also honing their leadership potential. The changes will become effective only after the Annual General Meeting in September 2010.

Continuing to diversify and expand its services, the organisational chart on pages 104-105 indicates the sphere of responsibilities among Supervisors.

As of 31 March 2010, the Federation had a staff compliment of 1,285 persons, 450 of which are temporary posts created under the training and job-placement schemes to enhance the employability of youth and to facilitate their entrance into the workforce. Alongside this category are 588 staff members remunerated on contract terms and 247 staff on perennial terms, who occupy 70.4% of the regular posts.

Internal Controls

With its well defined policies and procedures, the Federation consistently ensures that there are sufficient checks and balances in place to monitor the internal controls of the organisation. Every effort is made to monitor compliance and to initiate any improvements as appropriate, as well as to evaluate the efficiency of resource utilisation.

Overseen by the Internal Audit Office, compliance checks were conducted on the overall operations of seven selected service units. In addition, compliance checks were also conducted on selected procedures for all service units, with one report being issued, and another report in progress. The staff also conducted analyses on resource utilisation and the overall financial performance of the organisation, with four reports being issued, and another six summarised findings had been prepared. Reviews and recommendations for improvements to four operational procedures were made, while the review to the Accounting

The total income of the Federation for 2009-10 was HK$356,187,305. Government subvention, which totalled HK$200,262,541, remained a major source of income.

From the President

For the past 17 years, it has been my honour and privilege to be associated with The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, first as a Member of the Youth Service Committee and, since 2006 as the President.

Over this period, I have been witness as the Federation met every manner of challenge –from economic down turns to health scares, from structural re-organisation to staff changes – head on, resolutely and optimistically, never losing sight of its mission to serve the young people of Hong Kong. This service to youth has in my opinion, been both creative and proactive. I have been most impressed by how, in walking side-by-side with tomorrow’s generation, every service, programme or activity nurtures participants to shine and grow.

I have also been deeply moved by the support that the Federation receives. I know that it is this shared vision that sustains our work and mission.

As end my tenure as President of the Federation this September, I would like to go on record to say thank you to:

first, all those in the wider community: all our donors, partners and of course friends. Without your support and encouragement, we would not have been able to grow and reach out in the ways that we have done over the years. Your heart for the young people of Hong Kong and confidence in our work is what keeps us going.

I would also like to thank my fellow Council and Committee Members. Each of you has been of immense support and I am so grateful for your wise counsel and guidance. honestly have been humbled by your confidence in me.

Last, but not least I take my hat off to the staff and especially to the Executive Director. Every member of staff, whether back-room or front-line, has

worked really hard with grace and dedication. They have ensured that the Federation’s myriad services, programmes and activities are carried out efficiently and effectively. It is only right then, that on behalf of the entire Council, I say how deeply appreciative we are all: our thanks to each and every one of you.

Even though am stepping down as President, I will continue to be of service to the Federation.

Allow me to conclude by wishing the Federation only the best for the next 50 years and beyond!

Thank you.

From the Executive Director

How does one sum up 50 years of service based on one simple mission: to provide the most relevant, accessible and needed services to the young people of Hong Kong?

Perhaps the answer lies in the following quotation I once read, When work, commitment and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible.

Herein lies the spirit, value and essence of how

The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups has grown and thrived in this ever changing city with increasingly complex challenges facing every new generation.

This is an organisation that has never wavered from its commitment to young people, believing, and continuing to believe, that only through their efforts lie the progress and sustainability of our collective future.

Our work over the past five decades would not have been possible without the dedication of hundreds of staff members. Blending together work, commitment and passion, they have served diligently, quietly, effectively and efficiently, meeting every situation with professionalism and care. I am so proud of them and from my own 35 years working in the Federation, I know how great their value is.

Beyond the staff, the Federation would never have been able to carry out its duty without the support of the community. From the government to individuals, from corporations to other NGOs, the Federation has benefited from the partnership, collaboration and friendship of many and we are both humbled and grateful for their faith in us.

And of course the young people themselves – the heart and soul of this vibrant, throbbing city. Since 1960, young men and women, boys and girls have

trusted the Federation to be there for them: to help them learn, to support them in crises, to nurture their potential and to offer them opportunities to grow and develop.

Work, commitment, pleasure and passion – these are the components that have not only sustained us thus far, but will continue to spur us on for the next 50 years and beyond. For we always keep in mind, that together nothing is impossible!

Thank you all.

Administration and Finance

Manual is in progress. With development and enhancement to the information technology systems, recommendations on how to improve internal controls were suggested. The staff have also begun to look into the issue of risk management.

As is the practice, the Internal Audit Office will report its work to the Audit Committee and the Council after the completion of the financial year.

The Federation

Lee Shau Kee Primary School

The Incorporated Management Committee of HKFYG Lee Shau Kee Primary School was established on 30 August 2008 under the Education Ordinance. For the period from 30 August 2008 to 31 August 2009, the total income of the School was HK$24,218,976 and its expenditure was HK$25,123,945.

The operation of the School depends mainly on Government grants from the Education Bureau.

Lee Shau Kee College

After reviewing the mandates of the Committees, the Council re-constituted the Youth Service Committee. Now called the Youth Advisory Committee, new members will be made up of young people between the ages of 18 to 35. This change is to reflect the Federation’s commitment in providing young people a platform to air their views, while also honing their leadership potential. The changes will become effective only after the Annual General Meeting in September 2010.

Continuing to diversify and expand its services, the organisational chart on pages 104-105 indicates the sphere of responsibilities among Supervisors.

As of 31 March 2010, the Federation had a staff compliment of 1,285 persons, 450 of which are temporary posts created under the training and job-placement schemes to enhance the employability of youth and to facilitate their entrance into the workforce. Alongside this category are 588 staff members remunerated on contract terms and 247 staff on perennial terms, who occupy 70.4% of the regular posts.

Internal Controls

With its well defined policies and procedures, the Federation consistently ensures that there are sufficient checks and balances in place to monitor the internal controls of the organisation. Every effort is made to monitor compliance and to initiate any improvements as appropriate, as well as to evaluate the efficiency of resource utilisation.

Overseen by the Internal Audit Office, compliance checks were conducted on the overall operations of seven selected service units. In addition, compliance checks were also conducted on selected procedures for all service units, with one report being issued, and another report in progress. The staff also conducted analyses on resource utilisation and the overall financial performance of the organisation, with four reports being issued, and another six summarised findings had been prepared. Reviews and recommendations for improvements to four operational procedures were made, while the review to the Accounting

The total income of the Federation for 2009-10 was HK$356,187,305. Government subvention, which totalled HK$200,262,541, remained a major source of income. The Federation also received allocations from the Community Chest of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and other trusts and foundations for recurrent general expenses and special projects.

The total expenditure for the year 2009-10 was HK$329,524,131, of which 67% of the expenditure was spent on personal emoluments, 29% on other charges and 4% on rent and rates.

Apart from the annual Government subvention and donations from the Community Chest and the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Federation also received capital grants from a number of funding bodies. During the year, the following funding bodies approved allocations of HK$25,535,697 towards the Federation:

1) Lotteries Fund: HK$20,864,600

2) Lotteries Fund Block Grant: HK$4,479,700

The Staff Social Committee, responsible for organising social and recreational activities for staff members, once again did a good job with the Annual Dinner. Staff members demonstrated their active and enthusiastic support of the event by their high level of participation and response.

To provide dynamic communication with the staff members, the Committee created a new Facebook account so that staff could keep abreast of the latest news and activities. Photos and videos filled with laughter and fun were also posted. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary, all staff had been invited to participate in the Happy 50th Birthday to the Federation Campaign and many creative videos showing their greetings were created.

Thanks to the generosity and kindness of the staff and their families, the Committee collected quite a number of cakes, noodles and daily necessaries as gifts to the needy living in Ping Shek during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lunar New Year. At the same time, members of the Volunteer Team also visited the elderly in these areas and helped paint the doors and gates of their homes.

To the staff members who participated in the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2010 organised by the Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association in February 2010, the Committee gave each a tee-shirt with “HKFYG Spirit” emblazoned on it.

Sporting abilities were also apparent at the Interagencies Basketball Tournament organised by the Hong Kong Playground Association and the Inter-agencies Football Tournament organised by the Hong Kong Social Workers’ General Union. The Federation men were second runners-up in the football with Mr. Hau How-man of NetWise Support Centre for Families the Top Scorer.

Congratulations to everyone!

History

George Stokes was sent to Hong Kong by the British Christian Welfare Council to develop local youth services in 1960. He founded The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, which was then established under the provisions of the Societies Ordinance in 1962 and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance in 1970.

In the early days of its development, the Federation’s aims were to promote youth services by liaising with other youth organisations and by setting up youth centres in public housing estates. In the mid to late 1960s the Federation began to expand its own services to meet the changing and specific needs of young people. In 1967, a pioneer project known as “Detached Work” was set up to help young people who were unwilling to participate in centralised activities. This was the forerunner of today’s Outreaching Social Work.

In the 1970s, a Pilot Youth Guidance Project began to offer advice to young people with emotional or adjustment problems. This has expanded into the Youth Counselling Service. The Service March Project was also started at that time, aimed at promoting community service among youngsters. The School Social Work and Family Life Education services began by the late 1970s.

In 1981 the Federation revised its Constitution and set up a Service Unit to provide training for staff and members. It continued to expand, introducing new services and co-ordinating the development of premises. Youth exchange projects were initiated in the mid 1980s and study tours were arranged to a number of countries. With the setting up of the Lee Shau Kee Youth Exchange Fund in 1995, an increasing number could benefit from long-term exchange programmes in varying formats. With the change of sovereignty in 1997, ties between Hong Kong and the Mainland became more frequent and close, and the Federation began to strengthen its dialogue with Mainland colleagues through regular exchange and training programmes.

For over ten years, systematic research on youth issues and concerns has been a part of the Federation’s increasing programme portfolio. The monthly Youth Poll Series and the in-depth Youth Study Series were first published in early 1993. The Youth Research Centre opened in May 1996, to extend in-depth and scholarly resources to better provide targeted services.

In September 1998, special resolutions were passed again revising the Federation’s Constitution to include all necessary mandates pertaining to the operation of a school. September 2000 marked the Federation’s first step into the field of education with the establishment and operation of the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee Primary School in Tin Shui Wai. In September 2006 the Federation went one step further with the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College, a Direct Subsidy Scheme Secondary School, opening its doors in the same district.

In April 2000, Leadership 21 was set up by the Federation as a centre for the training of the city’s future leaders. As a long-term investment, the Federation is also committed to setting up a Leadership Institute in Hong Kong.

The Federation began a process of performance pledges in July 1997 and has published an Annual Plan since 2001 aiming to make its work both more transparent and accountable to the public. It has also formulated a Strategic Plan for the evaluation of services and budgeting.

In 2002 the Youth Centres changed their name to Youth S.P.O.Ts (Space for Participation, Opportunities and Training). Together with u21.hk, set up in the same year, the Federation’s presence in the community has increased and is more effective.

The Youth Employment Network was started in October 2002, offering job placements, training and counselling to school leavers and school dropouts. The purpose is really to nurture employability and offer practical guidance and help.

Set up in July 2003, the Partnership and Resource Development Office, focuses on seeking out corporate partners and sponsorship, both financial and in kind. This Office is especially necessary to ensure that other forms of funding might be established.

To facilitate a better understanding of young people across the border, the Federation and Peking University joined forces to set up the Youth Development Research Centre in April 2004. The Centre has produced six comparative studies on youth behaviour, social relationships and values and will continue such effort in a systematic manner.

In 2004-05, the Federation re-focused its services and a new implementation structure was set up to facilitate the delivery of ten Core Services over the coming five years. These Services are: e-Services, Youth Employment, Leadership Training, Volunteer Services, Services for Youth at Risk, Counselling Services, Education Services, Parent-child Mediation, Creativity Education and Youth Exchange and Leisure, Cultural and Sports Services, all of which aim to meet the multifarious needs of today’s young people. In 2009, the Core Services were expanded to 12, by including all the Youth S.P.O.Ts, as well as Research and Publications. In 2010, the 5”u-s” online platform was launched. With the uChannel, uCinema, u21 website, uPortal and uServices, connectivity with youth has been enhanced.

February 2008 marked a milestone for the Federation with the moving of all the administrative departments, and some service units into The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups Building on 21 Pak Fuk Road, North Point. Included in the new headquarters are Youth S.P.O.T. 21, the HKFYG Continuous Learning Centre, as well as Café 21, the first of a series of Youth Social Enterprise projects undertaken by the Youth Employment Network.

The Federation set up an Organic Farm in 2010. The aim is to promote, practically and through example, the importance of healthy living, sustainable development and environmental conservation.

Youth S.P.O.Ts

The objective of the Federation’s 22 Youth S.P.O.Ts (Spaces for Participation, Opportunities and Training) is to foster the holistic development of young people under 35. The S.P.O.Ts comprise 16 Integrated Team Centres, three Children and Youth Centres, two Youth Centres and Youth S.P.O.T. 21.

Annual Statistics

During the past year, the 22 Youth S.P.O.Ts provided a wide range of learning opportunities and challenging experiences, by identifying and responding to the individual and collective needs of young people. These included a special focus on careers and further studies, encouraging volunteerism, helping to build care and support networks, the promotion of civic education and nurturing creativity. By last year the Youth S.P.O.Ts had a total of 259,807 members, with a total attendance in all the centres standing at 2.7 million.

Service Reform of Youth S.P.O.Ts and Youth S.P.O.T. Staff Conference

In order to echo the five strategic directions of connectivity, caring, community engagement, professional collaboration and resources development under the Federation’s Second 5-Year Corporate Plan, service reform was carried out in Youth S.P.O.Ts.

As a result, three pillar services were introduced, which were Strengthening Classroom Learning, Extending Educational Opportunities and Social Exposure and Development. The objective is to provide tailor-made programmes to broaden the horizons of young people through the different service directions.

A Youth S.P.O.T. Staff Conference was held in December 2009 for staff to share their views and opinions on the changes. It is hoped that in the coming year, a wide range of classes and activities under the scopes of the three pillar services will be developed.

Another change was the setting up of uCafés within each Youth S.P.O.T. These venues will each have a different theme and encourage young people to build up their own social networks. This initiative reflects the Federation’s commitment to connectivity.

LOHAS Youth S.P.O.T.

One of the Federation’s first Children and Youth Centre, the Tsui Lam Youth S.P.O.T. in Tseung Kwan O District had to close in February 2010 due to the diminishing youth population in the catchment area. However, with the support of the Social Welfare Department, a new LOHAS Youth S.P.O.T. was opened in Tseung Kwan O District to meet the needs of new families in the newer development.

Modernisation of Youth S.P.O.Ts

The last phase of modernisation was completed before the summer of 2010 in four Youth S.P.O.Ts, including those at Lung Hang, Heng Fa Chuen, Tin Shui and the Felix Wong Youth S.P.O.T.

Would-be entrepreneurs are also allocated business mentors who not only provide specialist or professional advice and training, but who also help link up young people with wider networks.

Youth

Youth Employment

Hong Kong’s unemployment rate saw a gradual improvement after the global recession. However, for young people between the ages of 15 and 19, the unemployment remained three to four times higher than the overall rate. This was particularly so for those with low academic attainments or skills.

Since its establishment in 2003, the Youth Employment Network (YEN) has acted as a bridge for youth to smoothen the transition from school to work by improving their employability skills, while at the same time, exploring work opportunities and encouraging the business sector to employ young people.

Over the past year, YEN cooperated with government departments, the private sector and other NGOs to offer various services in the following areas:

YBHK received a support from Bank of China - “Caring Hong Kong - A Heart Warming Campaign” to launch a BOCHK Youth Entrepreneur Support Project in October 2009. This project targets unemployed youth with a viable business plan but without adequate resources to get off the ground.

YBHK published a case book “Be a Boss – Cases and Analyses of Youth Business” to share the experience of ten young entrepreneurs who offer tips, advice and references to others.

3. Youth Social Enterprise

The new initiative, The “HKFYG Organic Farm” (the Farm) was launched to promote healthy living through organic farming. The Farm has the pride to be the only local farm certified organic under The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Organic Programme (NOP).

Located in Yuen Long up on a hill, the Farm has a good natural supply of water, fresh air and very fertile soil – perfect for the growth of organic and healthy produce. This enables consumers to enjoy quality local crops thus reducing transportation, food mileage and carbon emissions.

The Farm also provides a wide range of educational programmes for schools and companies for participants to learn more about organic farming, while giving them an escape from a hectic city life. Through handson educational experiences, young people will be inspired to adopt not only healthy eating habits, but also a green lifestyle. To get started, the Federation specially prepared “Go Green Live Well” Lunar New Year Organic Hamper, an exclusive collection of fresh organic vegetables from the Farm, for people to express care for their friends, business partners and the environment.

Café 21, the first flagship youth social enterprise set up by the Federation, has developed itself into a popular relaxing place for people looking for healthy and tasty food. This chic hang-out has also become a comfortable venue to organise private parties, conferences, as well as media briefings and exhibitions, offering work experience for young café trainees.

Image 21, a multi-media studio workshop, offers on-the-job training opportunities for trainees to hone their photographic skills.Added to its professional services including instant photo print, media editing and design, the passionate work attitude of workshop trainees have impressed different clients ranged from non-governmental organisations, government departments to private companies including DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, Social Welfare Department and Lions Clubs International District 303 – Hong Kong & Macau.

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy was adopted as a key concept of the project. Through counselling, group training and tailor-made activities, the project hopes to alert young people to the dangers of drugs. Counselling services dealt with emotional and psychological issues and the aim is to turn the lives of drug abusers around. The project served 135 young drug abusers and offered 40 educational talks, workshops and activities to secondary students, teachers, parents and local residents during the reporting period.

Extended Service for Young Night Drifters

Social workers targeted young people from the ages of 6 to 24 drifting in the streets or public places in Sai Kung District in late evenings and overnight. With sponsorship from Sai Kung District Council as well as support from the local offices of Social Welfare Department and Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the Unit carried out the Tseung Kwan O Night Market Project named YND at Tseung Kwan O Sports Centre where recreational and educational programmes were organised every Friday nights from 11:30 p.m. till 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning.

Youth Support Scheme

Support and counselling services are provided to young offenders cautioned under the Police Superintendent’s Discretionary Scheme in Kwai

Tsing, Tsuen Wan, Tuen Mun and Tung Chung Districts. The purpose is to help them become law abiding citizens in the future. Most of the cases were referred through intake in the Crisis Assessment Sessions at Divisional Police Stations. Most of the young people had committed minor offences, such as shop lifting and common assault.

With funding support of Ricoh Hong Kong Ltd, the Ricoh Empowerment Project was organised. For the past three years, Ricoh staff volunteers joined together to serve the mentally handicapped, ethnic minority youth, deprived children and drug abusers. Eight Ricoh staff were partnered with eight outstanding youth volunteers to help organise different voluntary programmes.

With sponsorship from the Citigroup Success Fund, Teen Action 2009 was run for the 6th year. This physical and adventure programme is tailor-made for violent teens. 21 boys aged between 14 and 17, along with 19 police volunteers, participated. They took part in physical and disciplinary training, sea adventures, an adventure camp, hiking and voluntary services. The participation of police volunteers is a crucial element in this programme, as the young people discovered a new kind of role model.

With sponsorship from the Community Collaboration Project, the unit collaborated with five community partners in Tung Chung District to hold a project named Through the Teen StrikerAnti-drug Project. 19 young people learnt about magic, graffiti and how to be a clown. They were also given the skills to refuse drugs and learnt how not to be intimidated by peer pressure.

With continuous support from Hongkong Bank Foundation District Community Programme, the second year of Teen’s Project was successfully held during April to July in 2009, designed for teenagers who have received a police discretionary warning after committing a violent crime. To reduce their risk of re-offending, it was done in partnership with Kwai Tsing Police District. The programme aimed to strengthen mental and emotional strength, improve the sense of discipline and increase drug awareness through fitness training. Police volunteers became mentors of the teens and accompanied them through fitness training, a wild camp and a visit of residential treatment for drug abusers.

Anti Drug Resource Kit for School Sector

The Federation was commissioned by the Action Committee against Narcotics and the Security Bureau’s Narcotics Division to produce an antidrug resource kit in 2008. The purpose was to help schools formulate a Healthy School Policy promoting an anti-drug message and encourage positive values. The production of the resource kit was sponsored by the Beat Drugs Fund.

Launched on 17 March 2010, the kit was delivered to all primary and secondary schools as well as parent-teacher associations. The kit provides school management, teachers and school social workers with practical reference materials and identification tools, including guidelines on the formulation of the Healthy School Policy, learning and teaching materials for an anti-drug curriculum, drug information, examples of how to handle drug cases, a referral mechanism and information on community support. 12 briefing sessions were also organised in March and April for over 1,700 school personnel and social workers.

A summary of the important parts of the resource kit for easy reference was made and uploaded to the website antidrug.u21.hk.

The Way Forward

The main focus of the Federation’s services for youth at risk in the coming year will continue to be on those involved in drugs, gang violence and juvenile delinquency.

NetWise Support Centre for Families

With support from the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer, the NetWise Support Centre for Families was launched on 1 September 2009.

The aim of the Centre is to promote the safe and healthy use of Internet among adolescents, as well as provide a one-stop service with regards to Internet safety for parents and their children. The Centre pays special attention to online related issues such as addiction, online friendships, cyber-bullying, intellectual property infringement and pornography.

In order to ensure that this message of using the Internet safely was promoted, Internet Ambassadors were trained, and 100,000 copies of the Be NetWise Parents Handbook were produced. Teachers and social workers were also trained and the Centre had produced 6,500 sets of Be NetWise Education Resource Kit for use in schools.

Youthline 2777 8899

Youthline 2777 8899 has again proven to be an immediate and convenient channel for young people to express their concerns and emotions through the phone, emails, MSN, blogs and the Internet over the past year.

“Web Positive” Online Outreach Counselling Service

Web Positive is a new form of online youth counselling, offering outreach services which particularly searches through online platforms for young people facing stress or other negative feelings. Conducted by typing in key words and searching personal blogs, personal and relevant messages are sent to those individuals. Only when a trusting relationship has been established, follow up action will be offered, either through messaging, emails or hotline services. A blog and video competition has also been held to promote positive life attitudes.

Form Five Broadband 2777 1112

To help HKCEE and HKAL candidates improve their learning abilities, several talks and workshops on practical tips were organised in 2009. A largescale symposium was also held for 1,000 F.5 students and their parents, providing information about further studies and potential career paths.

On the eve of the announcement of the HKCEE results, a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland was organised to relieve the stress of 100 F.5 students. A 100-hour hotline and online counselling service, was also available, with over 100 social workers and trained volunteers offering immediate guidance and counselling via the phone or messaging.

Infoline Services

Infoline, targeting primary students, is a 24-hour telephone service to help develop positive attitudes through stories and dramas. Callers are encouraged to share their thoughts by leaving

Relationships

Love affairs seem to cause the greatest upset among teenagers. The use of Facebook and online forums make it easy for young people to engage in cyber-relationships. To support teachers and youth workers to teach young people about relationships, A Practical Guide to Courtship was published with the support of the Social Work Training Fund. The guide book aimed at promoting positive love attitudes among adolescents.

Case Profile

From April 2009 to March 2010, the computer registered 634,656 incoming calls. The daily average of incoming calls was 1,739. Together with cases handled by Form Five Broadband 27771112 and online counselling, counsellors handled 55,560 cases during the year. Problems relating to school, mental health and emotional issues remained the top three concerns of young people. Counsellors observed that there is a rising trend for young people to disclose their sadness and hopelessness on the Internet. Online counselling services will be strengthened to meet this particular need.

39

School Social Work

Over the past year, the Federation offered stationing school social work services to 37 secondary schools, among which are 17 schools served by the School Social Work Unit, with the remaining 20 served by nine Youth S.P.O.Ts. The Unit handled 1,483 cases and provided 1,406 programmes for students, parents and teachers. The total number of consultations was 9,258.

Case Profiles

The top three common concerns related to school (30%), family (24%) and emotional/mental health (15%). Students were also distressed by peer relationship, career worries and the options regarding further education. Some students were also found to be unmotivated to study, unable to adapt to school or had unsatisfactory parent-child relationships. Apart from individual counselling, preventive programmes and therapeutic groups were organised. Close collaboration with teachers and parents was also deemed to be crucial in supporting the wellness of young people.

Trial Scheme on School Drug Testing in Tai Po District

With the support of Beat Drugs Fund, extra resources were allocated to strengthen the School Social Work Service under the Trial Scheme on School Drug Testing. From December 2009 to May 2010, in the three serving schools in Tai Po District, 87 anti-drug programmes were conducted with an attendance of 6,617. Anti-drug ambassador teams were formed to promote a “Say No to Drugs” message.

Obesity Project

The Unit launched the Obesity Project jointly with Department of Applied Social Sciences of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The aim is to establish an adolescent and family network for promoting the physical psycho-social well-being of obese youth. Two of the serving schools, with over 30 junior form students, joined the project as Health Ambassadors. The Ambassadors attended a series of workshops and camps to learn about healthy habits and develop a positive self-image.

Professional Training Series

Thematic training workshops were held for all the School Social Workers of the Federation, led by experienced counsellors who focused on the wider issues of emotional and family problems.

Student Guidance Team

In order to strengthen counselling services at primary schools, the Student Guidance Team was set up in 2002. This Team provides Stationing School Social Work Services as its core service and also organises “Understanding Adolescent Project for Primary Students”, along with the “P.A.T.H.S. to Adulthood: A Jockey Club Youth Enhancement Scheme”, as well as the “School-based After-School Learning and Support Programme”.

All-dimensional Counselling Service Stationing School Social Work Services were offered to 25 primary schools and two kindergartens in the last academic year. In total, 575 cases were handled and 12,458 consultations were provided. From statistics, the most common problems identified include behavioural problems or misconduct, issues about studies, emotional and psychological problems, as well as difficulties with families. In addition to individual counselling, the Student Guidance Team also provided 2,793 activity sessions for students, parents and teachers.

This year, The Peak Tramways Company Limited, The Peak Tower Ltd. and the Student Guidance Team jointly organised the Learn from the Peak Tour from October to December 2009. Over 330 primary students from different schools who had low motivation to study were invited to join. The

students enjoyed a fully paid trip to the Peak with entry into the The Peak Tower and Madame Tussauds Hong Kong. The children were able to take in the spectacular view, learning the history of the Peak tram and also enjoyed themselves. They also increased their motivation to learn by engaging with tourists.

In this academic year, two joint school teacher training workshops were held. The first one, on 21 November 2009, was entitled “How to turn stress into a positive force” and held for all the serving primary schools of Student Guidance Team. Dr. Tsang Fan-kwong, the speaker, shared lots of practical skills on handling with around 200 principals and teachers.

The second workshop was tailor-made for the seven primary schools of Precious Blood. It focused on how to expand horizons and to think

creatively. Conducted by Mr. Lawrence Cheng, the workshop was entitled, “Let’s go crazy once”.

In-house training workshops were also held for staff, on topics such as how to improve public speaking skills, how to devise play therapies, how to deal with child abuse cases and how to handle students with oppositional defiant disorder.

Understanding Adolescent Project (UAP) for Primary Students

The UAP project aims to improve the resilience of students through a series of preventive and developmental programmes. The targeted classes included P.4 students from 40 schools, P.5 students from 39 schools and P.6 students from 38 schools. This was held under the joint efforts of the Student Guidance Team, Youth S.P.O.Ts and the Camps Unit of the Federation.

Kindergartens and Day Nurseries

The Federation has been providing pre-primary education since 1997 and now runs two kindergartens-cum-day nurseries in Sai Wan Ho and Yaumatei. The intake of students is good at both kindergartens with 100% at Ching Lok Kindergarten in Sai Wan Ho and over 90% at Ching Lok Kindergarten in Yaumatei. New initiatives were carried out in the past year to cater for the various needs of children.

arranged for teachers so as to enhance their English competence. The programme focused on strengthening oral skills, improving accuracy in pronunciations and enriching vocabulary. The volunteer also advised on how to make encouraging comments on student’s reports and how to improve their daily conversation in English with students. The teachers enjoyed the programmes very much, finding them useful and practical.

Newly Initiated Programme for Families with Children with Special Learning Needs

With more and more children requiring special learning needs and with little proper support at home, Ching Lok Kindergarten made a great effort to identify these children and devise tailormade programmes for their parents. Through a series of parent-child activities such as games, drawing, playing and outings, teachers demonstrated ways to communicate and ways to facilitate learning. Parents were thus equipped with the skills necessary to help their children, while also benefiting from community support and not feeling isolated.

Enhanced Curriculum

Both kindergartens have passed the Quality Review under the Pre-primary Education Voucher Scheme (PEVS). Ching Lok Kindergarten has refined the spiral strategy in the curriculum and a Thematic Approach is now used in N1, while a Project Approach was gradually adopted in K1-2 and fully adopted in the teaching of K3. Previously, a Big Book Approach was implemented in the teaching of English in K1-3, but not in the nursery class due to the lack of local teaching material for nursery children. This year, the Kindergarten purchased overseas teaching material to implement the Big Book Approach in nursery education and the outcome was very encouraging. To support the children’s creativity, Ching Lok Kindergarten (Yaumatei) provided more opportunities for K2-3 students to think, draw and write. Teachers told stories and encouraged

students to continue the story by drawing and writing. This greatly increased students’ learning incentive and learning effectiveness.

Professional Development for Teachers

Principals of both kindergartens completed the Certification Course for Kindergarten Principals as required by the Education Bureau so as to upgrade their professionalism. The majority of teachers made use of development subsidies from EDB and the Social Welfare Department to undertake formal training and further enhance their teaching strategies. Apart from the study of pedagogical skills, kindergartens also organised special staff development programmes to provide systematic learning opportunities and to enhance their abilities in other essential areas. A series of English programmes, conducted by a retired English teacher on a voluntary basis, was

Collaboration with Professionals on the Emotional Well-being of Children

There has been an increasing emphasis on the emotional well-being of children which is essential for whole person development. Ching Lok Kindergarten (Yaumatei) collaborated with the Hong Kong Institute of Education to carry out the Zippy’s Friends programme for K.3 students. The 24-session programme focused on six areas: feelings, communication, friendship, conflict, change and loss and making a new start. Through storytelling, role playing, drawing and games, children learnt to cope with situations and dilemmas such as bullying, loneliness, rejection and death. Instead of telling children what to do, teachers encouraged them to think for themselves and to come up with their own solutions. Children were given opportunities to identify and talk about

their feelings. They also learnt to listen attentively and speak openly. Children’s problem solving skills were enhanced and the kindergarten will incorporate the elements of emotional health into the kindergarten’s curriculum in the future.

The Way Forward

The School Management Committee of Kindergarten will be expanded to inject new ideas into the management. Efforts will be made to enhance the curriculum and the professionalism of teachers.

45

School

Primary School

The HKFYG Lee Shau Kee Primary School (LSKPS) completed the previous cycle (2006-09) of its three year development plan and is now on its next three year cycle for 2009-12. This will focus on accelerating the effectiveness of learning, fostering the healthy growth of students and establishing a positive attitude towards life, as well as strengthening home-school collaboration.

Effective Teaching Strategies in Language Education

Since 2008-09, LSKPS has been implementing the Primary Literacy Programme-Reading/Writing (PLP-R/W). This year, the PLP-R/W was extended to P.2. Students enjoyed the lessons with stories, songs and rhymes, while at the same time improving their skills in English listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Celebration of the 10th Anniversary

As part of the 10th anniversary celebrations of LSKPS, the School staged an English musical Cinderella on 12 September 2009 at the Yuen Long Theatre to showcase the talents and achievements of students. Over 80 students from LSKPS and six from the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College (HLC) performed two shows that day. The School was honoured to have Dr. Moses Cheng Mo-chi, GBS, JP , Chairman of the Education Commission as the Guest of Honour. To promote the school, LSKPS also invited principals, teachers and parents of nearby primary schools and kindergartens to enjoy the show. Feedback from the audience was positive and encouraging. The young actors found this an invaluable learning experience.

The school also held a 10th Anniversary Ceremony and Variety Show on 24 April 2010. The school invited Mrs. Yu Law Siu-man, Chief School Development Officer (Yuen Long), to officiate. The theme of the Ceremony was “Love. Back home” reflecting LSKPS as a warm and safe

place for students and teachers. Students of the HKFYG kindergartens, along with the students from HLC were invited to perform, while previous LSKPS students “returned home” to run the game stalls. The celebration activities were successful and well received by the Guest of Honour, parents and fellow students.

The school joined the Seed Project organised by Education Bureau (EDB) this year to investigate effective strategies to further develop reading skills in Key Stage 2 (from P.4 to P.6) through the implementation of Reading Workshops which P.5 has now joined. In order to facilitate the implementation of this Project, an experienced English teacher was seconded to EDB for planning the curriculum for the Reading Workshops for P.5 and developing necessary resources to support learning and teaching strategies. This teacher was also able to assess the impact on student learning in order to improve teaching practices. After implementing the Reading Workshops for a year, students have improved their reading skills and most of them have cultivated an interest in reading English language books.

Developing Students’ Creativity

The school participated in the Hong Kong FLL Robotics Tournament organised by the Federation. About 20 students, divided into two teams, were selected to participate in the

tournament. To further enhance their skills of programming and completing the challenges, they participated in training courses provided by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Semia Limited. All the expenses were sponsored by Dell.

The tournament was held on 27 February 2010 at the Hong Kong Science Park. Those who participated found the Tournament both challenging and interesting.

The Way Forward

The school aims at improving students’ learning performance in the next school year. The school will promote the importance of reading. In English language studies, the PLP-R/W will continually be implemented from P.1 to P.3. Students of P.5 and P.6 will join the Seed Project to further develop their reading skills.

The number of traditional examination will be reduced with assessments emphasising learning progress. Extra school days will be released for the school to implement measures for catering to learning differences. The school will strengthen support for students with different needs and ensure that each child receives the attention he or she deserves by placing them in specific groupings according to ability, thus improving and accelerating learning effectiveness. 47

Secondary School

Opened in September 2006, the HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College (HLC) is the Federation’s first secondary school, as well as the first English-medium Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) secondary school in Tin Shui Wai. HLC has now expanded to four levels with approximately 500 students.

President’s Award for Best Teamwork

HLC believes that good teachers hold the key to students’ healthy development and success. The school takes great pains in recruiting the best teachers and puts in great effort to build up a strong and harmonious team. Teachers often collaborate in lesson planning and decisions are made in consultation. In recognition of the strong team spirit, HLC was presented the HKFYG’s President’s Award for Best Teamwork.

One major areas of concern was the professional development of teachers. While teachers are encouraged to participate in training provided by the Education Bureau (EDB) and other organisations, HLC also pioneered a schoolbased Management Programme for Teachers. Apart from the Principal and the Vice-principal, two guest speakers were enlisted among the senior managers of HKFYG for the ten teacher participants.

Academic Excellence

Before a student can become a high achiever, she/he must first acquire a strong and broad knowledge base and master high-level learning skills. Among all the skills, proficiency in English is perhaps the most important. Neither effort nor resources were spared in providing students with a congenial and enriching English learning environment, as well as an effective and individualised learning programme. Students were split into smaller groups based on ability. Qualified local teachers and three native-speakers were engaged to motivate students to use the language. Under the directorship of HLC’s NET drama teacher, the school successfully staged three shows of the pantomime Cinderella last December to wide acclaim. Debates and public speaking were also used to build up the confidence of students to speak in English. Students in S.1 and S.2 levels were able to deliver impromptu speeches in English, while those in S.3 and S.4 could effectively engaged in debates.

Gifted and remedial programmes are introduced to ensure that those with special needs were well attended to. As a result almost all students met the promotion criteria at the end of the year.

Extra support and resources were given to S.4 students as they faced the first year of the NSS curriculum. Added with the advantage of smaller class size, students made great strides towards the end of the year.

Students again attained remarkable results at the International Assessments for Schools administered by the University of New South Wales, Australia. Top students also made their names

known at the Hong Kong Student Science Project Competition with an honorary mention.

Whole Person Development

A corner-stone of HLC’s whole-person development is the 3-S Programme: “Self-directed learning”, “Selfdiscipline” and “Self-efficacy”. While the first one is related to a student’s learning, the other two focus on a student’s values,conduct,behaviours and relations with others.

The year started with education camps for each of the grade levels. The theme for the S.1 camp was 3-S; S.2 students visited local heritage sites; S.3 students underwent military training to strengthen self-discipline and S.4 students visited Guangzhou to study education reform and economic development of the Pearl River Delta.

HLC also put great emphasis on moral and civic education. For 2009-10, the Traditional Chinese Values Programme (TCV) was introduced and piloted in S.1 with immense support from staff and parents.

In response to the Government’s call for building a healthy and harmonious school environment, the Four Firewalls Programme was launched. This was designed to target drug abuse, bullying, sexual deviance and triad activities. Talks and workshops were organised for both parents and students on these topics.

49

Leadership training was provided for 30 students who travelled to Adelaide, Australia in February 2010. Prefects and prospective prefects were also given specialised training.

The Scouts and the St. John Ambulance Cadet programmes were introduced to help promote self-discipline and self-efficacy and all students were encouraged to join. Altogether HLC offers over 30 co-curricular activities to suit students’ interests.

Students were also introduced to the concept of public consultation. This was implemented so that the students could develop a sense of belonging to the school, while also nurturing civic responsibility. The Principal met the students in a Public Forum and answered their questions and queries, while also commenting on their suggestions.

The total result of all these efforts can be seen in the list of student achievements. In 2009-10, there were vast improvements in inter-school competitions. HLC did very well at the Schools Music Festival, the Schools Speech Festival and the Schools Dance Festival. In sports, the swimming teams have made the school especially proud by winning the girls’ championship at C grade and were first runner up in the boys’ C grade at the Yuen Long District. Gains were also seen in handball, badminton, athletics and fencing.

Partnership with Parents

2009-10 was a very fruitful year for the Parentteacher Association (PTA). The Standing Committee focused on getting more parents involved. Two talks on educating their children were organised by the PTA with Dr. Rosanna Wong and Mr. and Mrs. Chan Man-chiu, specialists on parenting, as guest speakers.

The PTA was also successful in recruiting parent volunteers, who provided much needed support at major school functions. To promote lifelong learning, two training courses were offered on baking cakes and creating Chinese lanterns. The major attraction of the year was the ParentTeacher-Student Variety Show in May 2010. Around 200 parents, teachers and students came together to have fun singing, dancing, acting and playing games.

The PTA has also provided immense support and good advice in helping the School to tender for tuck-shop services, school uniforms and school bus services.

The School maintains frequent communications with the PTA through regular meetings and the publication of newsletters.

Continuous Learning Centre

Today, young people have to be creative as well as knowledgeable in order to stay competitive. Lifelong learning becomes the only way for young people to enhance their competitiveness and the Federation has always been keen to provide the youth with extending educational opportunities. In 2008, HKFYG Continuous Learning Centre was established to provide an array of courses that aimed at enhancing the quality of life and employability through improving interpersonal skills and communication. By providing professional development and knowledge development courses, the Federation hopes that young people can develop their potentials and equip the skills and knowledge necessary to success.

Looking Ahead

How to prepare senior form students adequately for the new Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education remains a top priority. HLC will build on its academic excellence and further strengthen character-formation of its students. In so doing, no effort will be spared in enlisting the support of the principal partner: parents.

HKFYG, as the sponsoring body, continues to be supportive and helps advise the School Management Committee.

HLC is confident in becoming the envy of neighbouring schools!

Parent-child Mediation

The Parent-child Mediation Centre and the Family Life Education Units in Tai Po/North District, Kowloon City, Yuen Long, Eastern/Wanchai, Tsuen Wan/Kwai Tsing provide professional service to parents.

Services focus on helping parents develop a sense of responsibility and mutual respect, along with two-way communication with their children and are provided through mediation service, talks, workshops and training courses. Public education campaigns are also organised to highlight better parenting skills.

Staffing

Over the past year, the service has experienced some personnel changes. With a new Unit-incharge, along with new Youth Work Officers, the team has undertaken a review on the service direction and operations, as well as the supervisory structure in order that more professional and effective services can be offered.

Mediation Service

By practicing the principles and skill of mediation, the service helps parents and their adolescent children learn positive ways to improve their communication and resolve their conflicts. This year, mediation service was provided to 32 parentchild pairs.

School Education Programmes

The team put together a programme catalogue based on the services provided and sent them to schools at the start of the school year. Courses and workshops were conducted and popular topics included handling parentchild conflicts, managing children’s emotion, disciplining children with love, motivating children to learn, communicating with adolescent children, connecting with the e-generation, sex education and helping children develop financial management skills.

Parent-education Talks Series with Vocational Training Council

Co-organised with the Vocational Training Council and with support from the Home-School Cooperation Committee, as well as the 18 Districts’ Federation of Parent-teachers Associations, the territory-wide parent education talks were organised with the help of the Vocational Training Council. In the sixth year of this programme, five public talks were arranged and the topics included how to communicate with the e-generation, developing financial management skills, the difficulties of working parents, the reasons behind conflicts and “Giving the Best to the Best”.

Parent-education Talks Series with HSBC

Together with HSBC, four workshops were held for the Bank’s staff members on how to handle parent-child conflicts, how to manage a child’s emotion, how to discipline with love and how to motivate children to learn.

Parents Network

With funding support from the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund, the Centre implemented the Family Network Project from September 2008. Expected to run until August 2011 in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing Districts, programmes have been and will be conducted in primary and secondary schools to train parents and students as “Caring-family Ambassadors”. The Ambassadors will help convey messages about caring families in school and the wider community. Over the past year, TWGHs Chow Yin

Sum Primary School, Kwai Ming Wu Memorial School of The Precious Blood and St. Francis Xavier’s School T.W. joined the project.

New Website

In order to connect with the wider public and parents in the community through the Internet, a website on parenting service was launched. The website includes information and tips on parentchild conflict management, recommended books list, the staff list and contact details of the Centre.

The Exercise Plan for 2010-11 is the tenth cycle of corporate planning to formulate strategic foci and pledged performance targets. Visits were made to 51 units, staff were engaged, focus groups with 138 field staff and units-in-charge, as well as consultations with supervisors were held from September to October of 2009.

2009 Best Practice Gold Award for Organisational Change

To overcome the challenges brought about by the Lump Sum Grant Subvention System, the Federation kicked off a re-engineering exercise in 2001. Since then, an annual systematic service and budget planning mechanism, at both corporate and unit levels, has been put into place. This is to ensure that the service plans and outcomes meet the needs of young people. Under the leadership of the Council, and with the full support of staff members, the Federation pursues its goals and pledged performance targets accordingly. After nine years of continuous effort, the Federation’s corporate planning mechanism received the “Best Practice Gold Award for Organisational Change” which was awarded by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service.

Connectivity

For the next year, 2010-11, all service units of the Federation will continue to highlight Connectivity as a priority. This implies that all service units will do their utmost to connect with youth members through the existing and new Web 2.0 digital platforms, as well as to empower core members to take the lead in services. Along with the launch of a computerised “e-Member Relationship Management” System, an effective system is assured.

The Annual Plan 2010-11

The Annual Plan 2010-11 was published in May 2010, in which the overall attainment of various Key Performance Indicators and business plans were reported. A simplified version in pamphlet form was also prepared. Copies of the Annual Plan and pamphlets were widely distributed to government departments, funding bodies, partners, nongovernmental organisations, universities and schools.

Staff Training

As a Learning Organisation, the Federation is committed to equipping staff with continuous training in order to update both knowledge and skills. Lifelong learning is our mission and staff are encouraged to make use of as many training channels and learning platforms as possible.

In-house Training

During the year, 59 in-house training programmes were organised for staff members, with a total attendance of 2,269. The programmes covered a range of topics, including national studies, service innovation, IT skills, the Internet and web safety. Visits were also arranged to such venues as youth social enterprises, youth employment centres and an educational film studio.

Professional training was also encouraged, as were thematic talks to broaden staff understanding on current and global affairs and trends.

Professional Training Series

In order to retain professional pre-eminence, eight sessions on Learning Difficulties of Youth and Children were organised for social workers stationed in primary and secondary schools and Youth S.P.O.Ts, along with teachers from nurseries, primary and secondary schools. The course covered such topics as depression and anxiety

73

disorders, dyslexia, attention deficiency and hyperactivity, autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, sensory integration dysfunction and oppositional deviant disorder. Academics and experts were invited to lead the workshops.

Mediation has become a common and effective method in resolving disputes and conflicts, which is now being used in better handling of parent-child relationships. A Certificate Course of 40 hours was organised to prepare the participants to become accredited mediators.

Sharing Session after Staff Meeting

For youth workers to maintain their relevance, they need to keep abreast of current affairs, youth issues and global trends. Three sharing sessions were organised, each after the different staff meetings. Entitled, “Challenges and opportunities brought about by the new academic structure on youth work”, “Web 2.0: connectivity with youth” and a report back session on the “National Studies Course in Beijing”. Altogether 1,104 staff members took part.

Local and Overseas Training

The Federation sponsored 218 staff members to attend 100 different local short-term training programmes organised by various external bodies, including the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, the Hong Kong Social Workers Association and local universities. Around 1,644 training hours were sponsored.

Sponsorship was also granted to 35 staff members to attend exchange and exposure programmes in Beijing and overseas, including the National Studies Course in Beijing, The Third Seminar on Camping in Asia-Pacific Region and an Eco-tour on Marine

Life in Southern Taiwan in Taiwan. Also included was a Study Visit on Management and Operation of Mentoring Programmes for Deprived Children and Youth in Sydney, Australia, an EDB Study Tour on e-Learning and an Operation Breakthrough Study Trip on Drug Abuse and Youth in London, U.K.

National Studies Course for Youth Workers in Beijing

This five day course in October 2009 was organised jointly with the China Youth University for Political Sciences and the All-China Youth Federation. The Federation sent 26 officers and a vice principal to attend the course, which included site visits, to learn more about developments on the Mainland.

Formal Social Work Training

The Federation granted agency-attached placements for four staff members studying for either a Bachelor’s Degree or Master’s Degree in Social Work for the year. For 2010-11 academic year, two staff members were to be granted sponsorship to take up agency-attached placements.

Exchanges with Youth Work Professionals from the Mainland and Overseas

To assist and facilitate the development of youth work and practical skills in the Mainland, the Federation again provided two to three week attachment programmes for two batches of 24 youth workers from Shanghai. In addition, a five-day visit and training programme in Hong Kong was jointly organised with the All-China Youth Federation for 34 government officials from different Mainland cities and provinces. Reception programmes were also arranged for the delegation of government officials of ethnic minorities organised by the China Youth University for Political Sciences, a delegation of social work scholars and students from the Yunnan University and a delegation of social workers from the Student Care Service in Singapore.

Student Fieldwork Placement and Internships

The Federation continued to provide placement opportunities to social work and other students from the different local universities. During the academic year, a total of 134 students studying for a Master’s Degree, Bachelor’s Degree, Higher Diploma or Associate Degree Programmes in Social Work, Psychology and Early Childhood Education were offered placements at various service units. A further 34 internships were offered to help facilitate academic as well as vocational attainments.

75

Information Technology

During the past year, the Information Technology (IT) Unit developed a series of projects to enhance internal productivity and connection with service users.

Premises Development

The Premises Development Unit has kept busy by various projects.

Member Relationship Management System

A major overhaul was carried out to the External Member Relationship Management System to allow both members and general service users to use the system to enrol and pay for any programmes online.

The system was also expanded to become a social networking site to allow users to make friends and to share their talents with others.

Poll Research Management System

To continuously raise the bar of providing quality services, the Unit built a poll research management system to facilitate the carrying out of surveys and help with data analysis. The system has proved to be very effective in helping staff handle large amount of survey data.

Casework Management System

Internally, a sophisticated Casework Management System was developed to provide more efficient management services. The system is a comprehensive approach to integrate automatic work flow from various kinds of case management and approval into a pipeline structure. This changes the process from paper-based to computer-based, with auto-email alerts. As a result, the System cuts down paper wastage, shortens circulation time of approval and stores and retrieves data efficiently. The automatic generation of report analyses based on Service Quality Standards eliminates the tedium of composing reports by staff as all reports are computer-generated without interference, allowing staff to use their time for service-oriented tasks.

Computing Environment Standardization

The Unit also carried out Computing Environment Standardisation from unit to unit, as well as coordinated the network, computers and audio-visual equipment setup for those newly established and renovated service units. The initiative unifies and standardises various aspects of IT, such as networking, computer standards, file servers, software handling and ongoing maintenance in order to meet the objective of “lowering operation cost with higher productivity”.

Modernisation Projects

The Lotteries Fund approved a grant to the Federation to carry out major renovation work at the Lung Hang Youth S.P.O.T., the Felix Wong Youth S.P.O.T., the Tin Shui Youth S.P.O.T., the Heng Fa Chuen Youth S.P.O.T., as well as the Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung, Sai Kung and Wong Tai Sin Outreaching Social Work Offices.

Maintenance

The Unit closely monitors the physical condition of all Federation premises in order to keep them in a good condition so that safety is ensured. Over the past year, more than 44 improvement and minor renovations were carried out.

New Office for Youth Volunteer Network

A new office for the Youth Volunteer Network was set up at Youth Square in Chai Wan. The office space plus two function rooms, which can accommodate 120 persons, now form the new home of VNET.

Phase III Redevelopment of the Jockey Club

Sai Kung Outdoor Training Camp

Under the leadership of Mr. Wan Man-yee, BBS, JP , Member of the Council, Phase III of the Redevelopment Project is now underway. The main focus will be on the construction of a new Canteen Block and a café, 16 more bungalows to increase the residential accommodation from 236 to 460 bed spaces and two platform decks near the existing slipway to provide a ground level open area for outdoor activities.

HKFYG Organic Farm

Improvement works were carried out at the newly acquired organic farm, compartmentalising the farm into distinct functional areas and to allow more space for exhibition and education purpose.

77

Dialogue Sessions with Policy Makers

Organised since 1997, the youth dialogue programmes are part of an on-going series of communication between youth and prominent government officials, and have been extremely popular.

This year, the following sessions were held:

On 27 April 2009, the President of the Legislative Council, the Honourable Jasper Tsang Yok-sing, GBS, JP exchanged views on the functions and powers of the Legislative Council with over 400 young people at the HKFYG Building auditorium.

On 1 March 2010, the Financial Secretary, the Honourable John Tsang, JP came to talk with over 1,000 young people after the Budget presentation. They met at the Run Run Shaw Hall of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine.

Study Tour to World Expo in Shanghai

A six-day Study Tour to visit the World Expo in Shanghai was co-organised by The Dragon Foundation and the Shanghai Youth Federation. The journey was made all the more exciting because the participants travelled from Hong Kong to Shanghai by train, leaving on 29 June and returning on 4 July 2010. A Departure Ceremony was held at the piazza outside Hong Kong Coliseum. Apart from visiting the Expo and learning about sustainable living from across the world, the young participants also learnt about the rapid development in Shanghai. They also visited local museums and had a dinner with 84 local secondary school students. All the participants also had the honour to meet with the Honourable Henry Tang, GBM, GBS, JP, the Chief Secretary, outside Hong Kong Pavilion, and to attend a sharing session conducted by Mr. Peter Wong, JP, Chief Executive Officer of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and Mr. Vincent Lo, GBS, JP, Chairman of Shui On Group.

480 lucky senior students – chosen from 2,400 applications – from more than 270 secondary schools took part, each nominated or supported by their respective schools. For more than 90 per cent, this was their first trip out of Hong Kong, even to visit the Mainland, with most coming from low-income families. The students were also accompanied by 20 members of Youth S.P.O.T. 21 who were taking part in a video competition, as well as 100 youth volunteers who served mainly as sub-group leaders.

All the participants went through a series of pre-tour talks and trainings, which also included a speech by Mr. Paul Yip, Chairman of Hong Kong Policy Research Institute Limited.

The trip was made possible by a subsidy from the Board of Management of the Chinese Permanent Cemeteries, along with support from the Commission on Youth and the Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education, as well as generous sponsorship from The Dragon Foundation, Sa Sa International Holdings Ltd., Prince Jewellery & Watch Co., Hopewell Holdings Ltd., Hopewell Highway Infrastructure Ltd., Shui On Group, Frankie Dominion (Holdings) Ltd., Mission Hills Group, Gloria Ng Charitable Foundation Ltd., Wai Hung Charitable Foundation Limited, Victoria Educational Organization, Gale Well Group Ltd. / L & T Charitable Foundation Ltd. and Manulife (International) Ltd.

Summer Youth Programme

Over 3,500 programmes and activities were organised by the 22 Youth S.P.O.Ts and other service units. Five thematic programmes, with the theme “Summer School”, were especially designed. These included, the taking of 500 students by special train to the Shanghai World Expo 2010; the Summer School for Effective Leadership 2010, co-organised by The University of Hong Kong; the HKFYG Mission Hills Junior Golf Tour 2010; a LEAD Project and a Forensic Science Day Camp.

The 12th Coming of Age Ceremony The Dragon Foundation

Since 1997, the Federation has organised the Coming of Age Ceremony. The age of 18 signifies the rights and responsibilities of young people entering adulthood, as well as indicating that society’s recognition and trust upon every new generation. This year, on 18 October 2009, over 400 young people actively participated in various events under the theme of “Making a Pledge”, organised by the Federation’s 21 Youth S.P.O.Ts. The 11 district programmes included orienteering, birthday parties, day camps, community performances and even overnight hikes.

Since 2000, The Dragon Foundation has been committed to nurturing young people of Chinese origin worldwide to be leaders of tomorrow. Each year, the Foundation organises series of programmes focusing on the exchange of ideas, while also building global networks. A Board of Directors manages The Dragon Foundation and The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups administrates the Secretariat.

Global Citizenship Programme

The Global Citizenship Programme is about broadening the global perspective of young people, while also inculcating in them a sense of responsibility to the community. Participants are primarily sent on exposure trips to New York and Geneva, but this past year the Programme was expanded to include Bangkok as well. A group of 30 outstanding university students were selected to visit Bangkok, the regional headquarters for many United Nation agencies and international organisations. The trip was a week long and also comprised a two day orientation and training in Hong Kong.

The Bangkok programme offered the opportunity for students to see how what they had learnt in the classroom was manifested in action through the work of the regional offices of the UNEP, UNDP, UNICEF and the Asian Development Bank. The students were able to also learn about regional leadership, as they examined case studies of the

1997 Asian financial crisis at its epicentre. They also looked at the impact of the current global financial crisis on the UN along with its response to the challenge.

The Commissioning of the Global Citizenship Programme took place on 24 June 2009, in the presence of Sir T.L. Yang, GBM, JP , Chairman of the Board, along with other Directors, panel judges and representatives from the different universities. Dr. Rosanna Wong spoke about the Vision and Rationale of the Global Citizenship Programme, while Dr. Lawrence Wong addressed the issue of Allocation of Resources in Communities. The Head of the Judging Panel, Mr. David Lan, GBS, ISO, JP laid out the expectations the Programme had for the participants. Mrs. Ann White, Director of ChinaHong Kong, Institute of International Education and Miss Diana Tsui, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility of KPMG were also invited to meet our delegates.

Ms. Suratchaya Palawongse, Consul of the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Hong Kong, spoke about “Recent development of Thailand and its unique role in the ASEAN and international issues” as part of the pre-departure training. Present at the Opening Ceremony in Bangkok were Mr. Alex Mavro, Chair-Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, The American Chamber of Commerce in Thailand and Dr. Naruemon Sawanpanyalert, Deputy Director, Bureau of Medical Technical Department, Department of Medical Services, Ministry of Public Health.
