Home and Youth Affairs Bureau and Youth Development Commission jointly launch new round of Funding Scheme for Youth Adventure Training Activities

     The Home and Youth Affairs Bureau (HYAB) and the Youth Development Commission (YDC) jointly launched the two-year Funding Scheme for Youth Adventure Training Activities (2025-27) today (December 16). Eligible non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are invited to submit applications.

     The Government attaches great importance to youth development. The HYAB and the YDC launched the first round of the Funding Scheme under the Youth Development Fund in late 2022, which subsidises NGOs to provide large-scale and high-quality adventure training activities for young people in a structured manner. The Funding Scheme aims to improve young people's physical and mental well-being, foster their positive thinking and resilience, and promote their sense of discipline and team spirit. The Funding Scheme emphasises the importance of cultivating positive values and thinking of young people in their development, enabling them to become a new generation with a sense of ownership and responsibility, and an aspiration and willingness to contribute to the development of the country and Hong Kong.
      
     Details of the new round of the Funding Scheme and application forms are available on the YDC website (www.ydc.gov.hk/en/programmes/positive/adventure.html). Interested NGOs should submit their applications on or before noon on January 21, 2025.
