Service Description
Children and Youth Centres are established to encourage children and youth to engage in worthwhile activities and pursuits, to organise their own groups and to reach out into the community with a view to assisting them with their personal development. Through guidance and support, they are helped to overcome adjustment difficulties arising from family and other personal relationship and to develop broader community and international perspectives.
To help children and youth to face new challenges and difficulties in their personal growth and/or changing environment and circumstances, four core programmes are provided: guidance and counselling, supportive service for young people in disadvantaged circumstances, socialisation programme and development of social responsibility and competence.
To offer opportunities for children and youth to spend their leisure time constructively, non-core programmes such as drop-in service, interest groups, summer youth programmes and study/reading room service are also provided.
