It
is the Federation's
45th anniversary and
we are proud to celebrate the progress we have made. From small beginnings
with just five youth centres in the 1960's we have grown to over 60 service
units and more than a thousand staff . The last few years have brought
such stimulus and change, spurring us on to fulfill our aims and realize
our vision. This has meant developing services in counselling, leadership
training, youth employment, parenting and education. Web-based services,
youth exchange, volunteering and efforts to help youth at risk are
also central to our work. The field of leisure, culture and sports
completes the gamut and with a range of new initiatives there has been
a terrific surge to over 170,000 members and 90,000 volunteers.
Change is challenging and we welcome it with open arms as the enthusiasm
and commitment of our staff has borne fruit. Their efforts have been
underpinned by the work of dynamic, strategic planning teams. For us,
the changing times have been a fulcrum for turning our ideas into reality
as we work out ways to meeting the evolving needs of Hong Kong's youth.
We hope you will celebrate our anniversary with us, revelling in the
opportunities we have to focus our energies and work together for young
people - our pride and joy.
