Be a Volunteer! Be Recognized!
Volunteering is an expression of showing care and concern by serving those in the community. The Federation has long been encouraging young people to volunteer, but understands that motivation is enhanced through recognition. It is therefore, the HKFYG "Easy Volunteer" Recognition Scheme was launched.
The Scheme, newly introduced by the Federation, sets up a systematic network to recognize an individual or group who volunteer. The Scheme will acknowledge the continuous involvement of the volunteers who serve the community for more than 50 hours for the Individual Volunteer Awards or 300 hours for the Organization Volunteer Awards on yearly basis. There is also a Continuous Service Award and an Outstanding Thematic Volunteer Award for Sustainability/ Online/ Wellness/ Sports Services to recognize individual volunteers and which are related to the specific themes.
The Federation has been working with different schools, corporates and organizations, promoting cross-sector volunteering in order to create a more inclusive society. Over the years, there have been activities, including regular home visits to the elderly and food drives through NEIGHBOURHOOD First; and volunteering for environmental protection as well as marine conservation. Other than that, EasyVolunteer.hk and Easy Volunteer, Easy Tutoring will operate all year round.
We encourage individuals and groups from all walks of life to be our volunteers. Do something special for the community and be recognized for your efforts.
