As a grant scheme, we provide seed funding and non-monetary support as well as resources to youths who are keen on implementing their own short-term community projects,
Youths are empowered as decision makers, as the proposals and project applications submitted are assessed by a panel of youths themselves,
Through different levels of involvement, we aim to foster youth development and leadership.
