Welcome!
YouthCORE is a service platform committed to connecting motivated youth with impactful volunteer and training opportunities within their local communities. We work closely with local NGOs and support student-led initiatives focused on helping children. Through partnerships with schools across Hong Kong, we hope to extend our reach to empower students to take action and create their own change.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
In Hong Kong alone, over 222,600 children live in poverty. That’s roughly 27% of the child population in Hong Kong!
Around 34,000 children live in subdivided flats.
1 in 10 children have significant sleep problems.
24.4% of children and adolescents reported to have some sort of mental health issue in 2023.
The Social Welfare Department reported a total of 1,439 child abuse cases in 2020, with physical harm being the most common form of abuse.
17.7% of the population aged 15 and over have only ever received primary school education.
14.8% have only ever received lower secondary school education.
33% have only ever received higher secondary school education.
IT'S A VICIOUS CYCLE.
WE WANT TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.
