Laying the Foundation for Long-Term Impact
We are delighted to share the release of the Year 1 Newsletter for the Jockey Club Shining Together with Cross-Cultural Youth Project, which covers the period from March 2024 to February 2025.
The first year of our three-year journey has been one of building trust, forming meaningful partnerships, and piloting our first wave of activities. With the commitment of schools, universities, community organisations, and youth themselves, we have been able to lay the groundwork for long-term change.
Over the past year, our team has reached thousands of non-Chinese youth across Hong Kong through workshops, outreach activities, and training programmes. More than just numbers, these early efforts have helped shape a supportive network of peers, teachers, and community partners who are now working together to promote better mental health awareness and stronger social connections.
Looking forward, the project will deepen this work in Year 2 by scaling up outreach, strengthening our youth ambassador programme, and expanding advocacy efforts across districts. The foundations are now in place, and the momentum is growing.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, our partners, and every participant who has walked alongside us in this journey so far. Together, we are shaping a future where non-Chinese youth in Hong Kong feel supported, empowered, and able to thrive.
