香港青年協會2018-2019年報

In 1960, Mr. George Stokes was sent to Hong Kong by the British Christian Welfare Council to develop local youth services. 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 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 in the late 1970s.

In 1981 the Federation revised its Constitution and established a Service Unit to provide training for staff and members, which has continued to expand, introducing new services and coordinating 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 of young people were able to 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 the Federation began to strengthen its dialogue with Mainland colleagues through regular exchange and training programmes.

For two decades, 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 and The Youth Research Centre opened in May 1996, to further provide scholarly resources to the community.

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. A third kindergarten was set up in 2013 in addition to the two previous kindergartens-cum-day nurseries, established in 1997 and 1999.

In April 2000, Leadership 21 was initiated by the Federation to train the city’s future leaders. As a long-term investment, the Federation’s vision of setting up a Leadership Institute in Hong Kong, a special purpose company was incorporated on 19 June 2013 under the name of “The HKFYG Institute for Leadership Development Limited”. The HKFYG Leadership Institute is located on the site of the former Fanling Magistracy and formally started operations in September 2018.

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 the same year, the Federation’s presence in the community has increased and become more effective.

The Youth Employment Network began in October 2002, offering job placements, training and counselling to school leavers and school dropouts. With an increased focus on entrepreneurship, the YEN is slowly expanding its services.

Set up in July 2003, the Partnership and Resource Development Office, focuses on seeking out corporate partners and sponsorship, both financial and in kind, ensuring long term and diversified support.

In 2004-05, the Federation re-focused its services with a new implementation structure to facilitate the delivery of ten Core Services: Multimedia Services, Employment Services, Leadership Training, Volunteer Services, Youth at Risk Services, Counselling Services, Education Services, Parenting Services, 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.

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 HKFYG Museum opened its doors on the 5th floor of the Building in May 2013 and displays artefacts, pottery, ceramics and other art works of distinctive value.

The Federation set up an Organic Farm in 2010, to promote, practically and through example, the importance of healthy living, sustainable development and environmental conservation. In 2019, an Hydroponic Farm, was set up both as a learning platform to promote the link between healthy living and the environment, as well as giving young people hands-on experience in alterative farming methods.

In early 2013, the Federation’s unique flagship multimedia hub, The HKFYG Jockey Club Media 21 (or M21) was established as a venue for young people to explore their creativity and innovation through new media. To comprehensively address issues related to emotional health, relationships and sex, learning difficulties as well as media literacy, the Wellness Mind Centre was set up in August 2017 by consolidating the work of the School Social Work Unit, the Student Guidance Team, the Media Counselling Centre and the Youth Wellness Centre.

Owing to the enactment of the new Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622), which took effect on 3 March 2014, as well as requirements from the Education Bureau to incorporate the standard clauses for the operation of kindergartens, the Federation passed a special resolution at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 9 October 2014 to adopt the new Articles of Association with the old Memorandum and Articles of Association to be deleted in their entirety.

The Jockey Club Social Innovation Centre was formed in 2015. As the first youth-oriented social innovation centre, it encourages young people to be innovative through entrepreneurial activities seeking positive change to the community and environment. This year, the Federation set up the User Experience Unit. The purpose is to apply innovative technology in user research, service design and delivery so as to optimise the user experience.

This has been a challenging year, my first year as the President of the Federation.

The last few months have been particularly difficult for Hong Kong as a whole, and for us, as a youth service organisation. We are extremely concerned about the young people who have taken to the streets and we worry about their frustrations and safety, their future and sense of hopelessness. Our hearts are broken by the violence we see which we cannot condone. In spite of these difficulties, we are here to serve, and as such we pledge our resources, abilities and our heart to help build trust and to provide opportunities to re-create hope. We are fully aware that this is no easy task and there are many challenges that lie ahead. However, with resolve, determination and passion for young people, we are deeply committed to a peaceful and prosperous future for them and for Hong Kong.

I shall continue to rely on the passion, commitment and professionalism of our staff during this time. Throughout all the years since my association with the Federation, their tireless work for young people is evident. Their skills and professionalism have made great contributions and these are much needed now in the work ahead of us.

The Federation is not a stand-alone organisation. We depend on the partnership, support and encouragement of many others. Their trust in us is what keeps us going.

I would particularly mention the government departments and agencies, including the Labour and Welfare Bureau, the Social Welfare Department, the Labour Department, the Home Affairs Bureau, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the Development Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Financial Services and Treasury Bureau, the Innovation and Technology Commission, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks, the Tourism Commission, the Youth Development Commission, the Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education, Narcotics Division and Airport Authority Hong Kong. Thanks also to the Quality Education Fund, the Beat Drugs Fund, the Innovation and Technology Fund for Better Living and the Environment and Conservation Fund.

My deep gratitude also to The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Lotteries Fund, The Community Chest of Hong Kong, the Hongkong Bank Foundation, The Keswick Foundation, K&K Charity Limited, The D.H. Chen Foundation and Tin Ka Ping Foundation. We are equally grateful for the support from Chinachem Group, CLP Power Hong Kong Ltd., JPMorgan Chase Foundation, Maxim’s Caterers Ltd. and Prudential Hong Kong Limited.

I would also acknowledge the support from other donors, individuals and corporates. I am so appreciative; it is all by working together, the government, businesses, private citizens and the Federation – along with young people – that we can all strive for a new beginning.

From the President

Finally, without the support to me personally from my fellow Council Members, I would not be able to take on this responsibility. Their insights, wisdom and advice are invaluable and I would like to thank them all.

We shall face all challenges with optimism. By collaboration and hard work, we shall continue to serve the youth of Hong Kong.

Wan Man-yee

This last year has been one of looking forward and planning for the future. It is about anticipating the needs and concerns of young people so that we as an organisation, and as individual staff, can remain proactive, rather than reactive to the changes happening around us.

We have just begun our Fourth Five Year Plan cycle, from 2019 to 2024. Given the various challenges ahead, related to technology, education or employment to inter-generational poverty, housing or aging, the pressures on young people are becoming even more acute. They are finding it harder to see social mobility and its concomitant higher living standards and success, as something realistically attainable.

What we anticipate is that these hot-house pressures will result in greater and greater stresses, which will have a detrimental impact on both physical and emotional health and wellbeing. As a result, we are particularly committed and focused on two areas: advocacy of wellness and preparedness to be competitive.

Advocating wellness is about cultivating a new mindset, with a new lifestyle and attitude to living a more balanced physical, emotional and social life. For school students, apart from online and hotline counselling, public education will also be the focus. The idea is to build resilience in young people, to enable them to make positive and life affirming choices in a world that seems at times overly complicated.

We anticipate how competitive the world is becoming and it is our commitment to foster in young people the future skills that they will need. Financial planning and financial literacy are two areas that we believe will strengthen their employability, but so too will knowledge, training and experience of new technologies. The Future Skills Development Project is just one way in which we will be promoting and enhancing competencies.

In formulating these plans, we need to be strategic in our delivery. To ensure efficiency and quality, we are concentrating on three specific areas: engagement, professionalism and innovation.

Perhaps nothing is as important as engagement, not only with our members and volunteers, but also with our stakeholders and the community. With an emphasis always on better user experiences, young participants will always be the priority.

Without a professional cohort of staff, along with well devised and executed programmes, activities and service, we know that there will be no impact. Key performance indicators and other evaluation mechanisms will of course be able to determine how the programmes are run, but more importantly, we need to, at the end of the day, be able to measure the social impact and effectiveness as true indicators of how useful we are.

From the Executive Director

Finally, as we exhort young people to be innovative and creative, we too must be the same. Our pledge for the next five years is to build an innovative culture that embraces change and encourages continuous learning, both for ourselves and the young people we serve.

Of course none of this would be possible without the support and commitment of the staff. My admiration for the staff has no bounds. With heavy workloads and long hours, they remain committed and passionate in their responsibilities. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart. I am grateful too to the Council and the Senior Adviser; their advice, support and trust enable us to proactively plan for the future.

We are at a moment in history where there are many unknowns. But one thing is certain: The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups is always here for young people.

Andy Ho Wing-cheong

There have been changes in the supervisory structure of the Federation with the reshuffling of duties among the incumbents owing to retirements and turnover among the senior staff. A new Deputy Executive Director was appointed based on vacancy, while two Coordinators were also appointed to take up more duties. Promotions were also made, so that there are now five new Supervisors. An up-to-date organisational chart can be seen on pages 94 – 95 for easy reference.

As of 31 March 2019, the Federation had a staff complement of 1,315 persons, 22 of whom are temporary appointments created under the training and job-placement schemes to enhance their employability and facilitate their entrance into the workforce. There are 1,137 staff (or 86%) remunerated on contract terms, while 178 (14%) staff are on perennial terms.

During the year, the Federation promulgated a policy against sexual harassment in handling and preventing any possible incidents. Further in line with family-friendly measures, the Federation also extended maternity leave for all eligible female staff to 14 weeks with effect from 21 December 2018 before the Government Bill was introduced to amend the current Employment Ordinance.

Corporate Governance and Risk Management

The Federation recognises the importance of risk management as an essential element to good corporate governance. During the year, different levels of staff took a more active role in the risk management processes through questionnaires and workshops. The Risk Register was fine tuned, with risks being categorised under eight main headings: strategic, financial, human resources management, project management, operational, technological, reputation and compliance; which were further divided into 20 sub-categories. A Report on Risk Assessment and Risk Management was then prepared.

During the year, there were thorough discussions among all staff in preparation for the Fourth Five Year Plan, which reduced the strategic risk of the Federation. In view of the risks on talent retention and succession planning, the Executive Leadership Programme was launched, and staff with potential were provided with opportunities for further development. Availability of new resources reduced the risk on changing service needs of target users. Greater vigilance was paid to risks in technology development and compliance issues. Within all these areas, risk mitigation plans were worked out, and continuous monitoring will ensure that risks are contained within an acceptable level.

As part of risk management, the Internal Audit Office was set up, with the key role to monitor the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control policies and procedures, as well as to evaluate the efficiency of resource utilisation, and monitoring the risk management process. To ensure improvements, reference continues to be made to best practices and industry guidelines. The Office functions independently, and reports back to the Executive Director, Audit Committee and Council.

During the year, eight checks were conducted: six on unit-level compliance to procedures, one conducted on the procedures for processing cheque payments, and another checking at HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College according to the requirements of the Education Bureau for the Governance Review Sub-committee. Analyses were also carried out on the financial performance of Summer Youth Programmes at the Youth S.P.O.Ts.

After careful deliberation, 24 staff members, from both service and supportive units, were selected to join the first batch undergoing 18 months of intensive classroom, online and non-local training.

A retreat day was arranged for Supervisors to examine the latest global and local youth and social trends, and to brainstorm innovative ideas for organisational development. To be a responsible organisation, risk management training was provided to managerial staff especially in the areas of ICT application, administration and financial management. 5S workshops were also given to support staff to enhance their ability to properly manage facilities and resources, and help upkeep the Federation’s “Green” policies.

Development and Support

Professional Enhancement

Staff members were sponsored to attend professional training to enhance their capacities for service. They took courses covering Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness Mediation, Art Therapy, STEM education, suicide prevention, working with ethnic minorities, triad culture, SEN and ADHD, parenting education, media education and ICT applications.

Staff members who studied formal social work programmes leading to higher diplomas and degrees, were granted study leave to complete their fieldwork placements. Last year, two staff members completed their agency-attached placements and this year two staff members were granted study leave to undertake agency-attached placements.

Best Practice and Knowledge Exchange

In 2018-19, 30 staff members were sponsored to join 13 study trips and international conferences. They explored Mainland cities including Shenzhen, Foshan, Huizhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Jiangmen, Beijing, Nanjing, Wuhan and Chongqing. They also went overseas to the Netherlands, Denmark, France, the UK, the US, Australia and Malaysia. These exchanges covered new service models and best practices in social innovation, opportunities in the Greater Bay Area, national development, STEM education, youth leadership, youth entrepreneurship and criminology.

Sustainable Development

Development and Support

Green Governance

Installation of Solar Film and Heat Shield Coating

With funding support from the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF), the Federation installed a heat shield coating on the rooftop of the sport hall at the Jockey Club Sai Kung Outdoor Training Camp; and a solar film in the camp houses and sport hall, helping to reduce energy consumption.

Indoor Air Quality Monitoring in M21 and Ching Lok Kindergarten (Yaumatei)

The Federation employed an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) consultant to conduct measurements and find out where improvements could be made in air quality. The IAQ monitoring was conducted in October 2018.

GoGreen Vision and “Three Axes and Five Green Key Areas”

For a sustainable future and given young people’s aspirations, the promotion of a green lifestyle is critical. The Federation’s approach of “Three Axes (Green Governance; Building Staff Green Capacity and Engaging Young People in Environmental Protection) and Five Green Key Areas (Energy Saving; Waste Reduction and Recycling; Water Saving; Paper Reduction and Clean Workplace)” continued, with the main focus on enhancing green governance and youth environmental education.

Environmental Protection Steering Committee

The Federation conducts regular Environmental Protection Steering Committee (EPSC) meetings to gather expert and professional advice in order to improve and monitor the GoGreen works.

Youth Green Engagement

The Federation organised different environmental education programmes for young people to enhance their environmental awareness and knowledge.

ECF Love our Romer’s Tree Frog: Biodiversity Conversation and Ecology Education Programme

The Sustainability Unit collaborated with Lamma Youth Camp to organise an environmental awareness programme and increase knowledge for the Romer’s Tree Frog. The four-stage programme attracted more than 1,000 people.

ECF Indoor Air Quality Youth Education Programme

The Sustainability Unit also organised the ECF IAQ Youth Education Programme from October to November 2018. More than 60 students were trained as IAQ ambassadors and helped in promoting IAQ knowledge through 600 street interviews and exhibitions, which was visited by 900 people.

ECF Low-carbon Cooking Competition and “Low Carbon Kitchen” Video Production Scheme

The project was organised by the Sustainability Unit and Media 21 to promote a “Low-carbon diet” in the community. Through a series of talks, workshops and a two-stage competition, students and the public were better informed how to implement a low-carbon diet in their daily lives. More than 700 people participated in the talk and 70 people participated in the cooking competition.

Green Synergy and Collaboration

The Federation worked with different government departments, universities and green groups, including the Water Supplies Department, Environmental Protection Department, Lingnan University and The Conservancy Association, to share environmental experiences and work together to promote environmental protection in the community.

User Experience

The User Experience Unit aims to improve social service provision with innovative technologies. The Unit collaborates with partners in different industries to help enhance user experience through design, research and process optimisation.

Development and Support

SPACE21

In order to better utilise free spaces in the community, such as in schools, youth centres or privately owned, the Unit will launch the SPACE21 project. Sponsored by the Innovation and Technology Fund for Better Living, SPACE21 is an integrated platform for booking and rental of community spaces. To get off the ground in late 2019, there will be mobile application, as well as desktop versions. Young people can look for and book suitable community spaces to carry out recreational or sporting activities.

School Connect

To improve communications, as well as to provide suitable support to schools, the Unit has designed an integrated platform. The platform provides an easy and direct channel for school teachers to get the latest news of the Federation, including courses and programme information, eLearning materials and on-site services. It will be launched in early 2020.

Renovated office for Startups

The Unit has been located at Media 21 since 2018. It provides young people an open and co-working area to start their technologically and socially missioned businesses. It provides rent free office space to incubate cases.

Information Technology

Application Systems

The HKFYG Data Warehouse has been operational since August 2019. The repository stores all data of the various systems and is accessible to staff for further analysis.

Various IT projects, including a new intranet, service resource planning management system, a digital library and a client and customer relationship management system, were given support by the Social Welfare Development Fund. Begun in 2018, the target is to have all the projects completed by 2020, so that the new systems would enhance corporate internal and external operations, as well as improve connectivity with young people.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan

In order to mitigate against any unforeseen mishap or accident, the entire IT system and related database is backed up regularly with files stored into secured computer sites. To ensure against the challenge of security risks, every staff member’s desktop executes and updates security patches automatically. A Disaster Recovery Plan is regularly exercised for all the core systems and related business operations.

System Training

Constant training sessions are held, not just when new systems are launched, but also to ensure familiarisation and ease of work for all staff, new and established.

Server Infrastructure and Cloud Service Application

With the new server, “Hyper-converged Infrastructure” (HCI), set up in 2018, server resources, capacity expansion and replicate applications to minimise the service interruptions can be fully utilised.

The IT system also continues to use the Cloud platform, which helps reduce workloads on computer resources, saving maintenance costs in both the server room and hardware devices.

Special Programmes and Projects

Global Youth Entrepreneurs Forum 2018

The Global Youth Entrepreneurs Forum was launched in 2014 and since then, more than 4,500 participants from over 23 countries and regions have participated, building networks to embrace innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Global Youth Entrepreneurship Forum 2018 was organised by the Federation and co-organised by the Shenzhen Youth Federation (SZYF) and Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub (E Hub). Over 800 participants gathered on 10 June 2018 in Hong Kong, 11 June at Qianhai Guangdong (Pilot) Free Trade Zone, and 12 to 13 June in Chengdu, Sichuan, with a resource list of mentors and professionals from different industries to speak at the panel discussions, breakout sessions, exhibitions and competitions. They addressed a wide range of topics, including AI, FinTech, development of smart cities and the Greater Bay Area.

HSBC Future Skills Development Project

With the rapid change of pace in innovation and technology, along with the need for up-to-date generic skills, the challenges on young people for employability are serious. As a result, the Federation, together with HSBC, initiated a two-year HSBC Future Skills Development Project, which began in January 2019. This will provide education and training to re-skill young people, from primary school students to working youth, giving them the tools necessary to be creative, innovative and original.

The Project adopted a three-pillar model to carry out its programmes. They were:

Financial Capability , which saw the Youth Employment Network provide practical application skills in financial management and cultivating concepts of financial planning, under the $avvy Planner and Financial Seminars.

Future Skills for Employment , which offered diversified learning experiences for employability enhancement by The HKFYG Leadership Institute, including participation in the Speaking Studio, Financial Dialogue Series and Pearl River Delta/Belt and Road Initiative High Level Exchanges.

Innovation and Technology by which the Creative Education Unit introduced participants to the wonders and challenges of automation, problem solving, digital possibilities and creative thinking. Programmes included Code for Computational Thinking, Future Skills Capstone Project and Future Skills and Career School Talks.

It is anticipated that there will be a youth attendance of over 80,000.

Special Programmes and Projects

International Conference on Youth and Cybercrime

The sharp rise in global youth cybercrime includes cyber fraud, cyber theft, hacking, naked chats and blackmailing. What makes this area so complicated is that young people are often both victims and perpetrators. With sponsorship from The Keswick Foundation and some individual donors, The HKFYG Youth Crime Prevention Centre, in cooperation with City University of Hong Kong, organised an International Conference on Youth and Cybercrime on 14 June 2019.

Coming from Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, United Kingdom and United States, 35 specialists shared their practical and professional knowledge and insights on how to promote awareness, prevent and provide counselling to the public, victims and perpetrators. Keynote speakers included Professor David S Wall from the University of Leeds; Professor Thomas J Holt from Michigan State University; Professor Dennis Wong from City University of Hong Kong and Dr. Lennon Chang from Monash University.

Speakers at parallel session included Dr. Cassandra Cross from Queensland University of Technology, Professor Koichi Hamai from Ryukoku University in Japan, Dr. Mary Aiken from University of East London.
