ABOUT US

Who We Are

Founded in 2024, YouthCORE is a non-profit service platform that connects Hong Kong’s youth with the city’s NGOs and student-led organizations in the children services sector. 

Students have reported to struggle with finding volunteering opportunities or even receiving responses from children-focused NGOs. Despite a continuous need for support, these organizations can be hesitant to accept young volunteers as children need consistent and reliable care. They need volunteers who will not just show up once, but repeatedly, in order to build love and trust.

By offering easy access to volunteering opportunities and training programs, YouthCORE aims to bridge the gap and show organizations that today’s youth are not just tomorrow’s leaders but are already powerful agents of change that are capable of making an immediate impact.

Our Mission

"We're not just a platform, we're a movement."

At YouthCORE, we believe that young people have always been at the forefront of driving social change. John Lewis was just 23 years old when he played a leading role in the Civil Rights Movement in 1963, André Breton was 24 when he founded the Surrealist Art Movement in the 1920s. From politics to art, we have left a mark on every major chapter in history. This is why YouthCORE strives to be much more than just a platform connecting students with service opportunities—we aim to be a movement that inspires and empowers today’s youth to take the lead in tackling social challenges.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every youth is a passionate social entrepreneur and every child has a smile on their face.

BEHIND OUR LOGO

The power is in YOUR hands. YOU are the CORE.

Brainstorming the logo.

Our logo represents the potential within each young person to make a difference. The core idea is that YOU are at the center of change. The name YouthCORE emphasizes that youth are the driving force—the CORE—of our mission. We believe in the strength of young people to shape a better world. The power is in YOUR hands. YOU are the core. At YouthCORE, we don’t just focus on creating opportunities; we empower YOU to take action and lead the way, because youth is the CORE of lasting change.
