Service Overview
 Our major target group are children and young people aged between 6 and 30 and their families, particular attention is drawn to those with personal developmental needs and special needs arising from various disadvantaged circumstances or those who are facing new life challenges or difficulties. Our centre has implemented 16 Service Quality Standards designed by the Social Welfare Department. The Centre aims not only to facilitate them to explore their potentials and develop well-balanced personal development, but also to encourage them to learn how "to serve and not to be served". In the 21st Century, the needs of youths are changing dramatically. Our centre provides innovative and quality activities and services for the users. Examples are tutorials, social and development activities, volunteer services, case management, uniform groups, career counseling, community education and exchange programmes. These provide opportunities of social, educational, cultural and physical development for young people. The future plan of the centre is to focus on recruiting more Parent members and further develop the "partnership" with schools in the local district. We hope our services could enrich our new generations to become happy, mature, responsible and enlightening others to actualise their lives.
