Vision Youth members and other winners

3 Vision Youth members participated in a table tennis championship that was organized by Canada-HK New Horizon Lions Club on September 21 and were awarded 1^st runner-up. The money raised in this match will be donated to YMCA to support their daily operation. Three Vision Youth boys, Jako Ho, Jeremy Cheung and Calvin Cheung, participated in the table tennis matches and were very devoted in playing the games. Although they were not the champions, they have been trying their best to play and all of them have performed a high level of sportsmanship. Besides, a number of Bronze Vision Youth members and parents volunteered to help out in this event. This volunteerism, as advocated by Vision Youth’s community service education, was well illustrated by the members and parents’ proactive volunteering.

Vision Youth has been placing the emphasis of leadership training on the education of community services. The tailor-made programs aspire to inspire and activate all Gold, Silver and Bronze members to design their own community service project using a project management framework. Proceeding to the next stage, these young adults will be devoting themselves to realizing their ideas. Distributing food to homeless people, advocating mental health among teenagers, promote environmental awareness, etc. These were some of the projects initiated in the past years.

Vision Youth’s own leadership training curriculum, programs and courses have been very interesting, appealing and thought-provoking to many young participants. However, in order to let the young members explore the outside world more, Vision Youth has been proactively generating collaboration opportunities with outside bodies. Vision Youth aims to convey a message of “humanities” to the young members and let them know the importance of having a balanced work-social life.
