District Youth Outreaching Social Work Teams seek to reach out and provide counselling and guidance to those young people aged between 6-24 who normally do not participate in conventional social or youth activities and are vulnerable to undesirable influences.

Since 1 September 2002, 16 District Youth Outreaching Social Work Teams run by 11 NGOs have been providing outreaching service to address the needs of high-risk youth and to tackle issues of juvenile gangs.

Generally speaking, District Youth Outreaching Teams (YOTs) have different operating hours and there are two types of sessions, i.e. morning session (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.), afternoon session (2 p.m. to 6 p.m.).  Given the YOTs operating hours are subject to change to suit operational needs, please contact individual YOT for exact operating hours.
