A course has been organised for young people in Tsz Wan Shan later this week to develop their potentials as youth leaders.

The Youth Leadership Training Course is a joint effort between

the Taz Tan Shan Estate Community Work Office of the Social Welfare.

Department and the Fanling Rotary Youth Centre.

It will be held between August 1 and 4.

"The course is designed for potential and existing group leaders

to develop their knowledge, skills and interests so that they can fulfil

the needs of developing youth groups in the district," said Mrs. Siu Law

Gook-fong, officer-in-charge of the Tsz Wan Shan Estate Community Work Office,

The course will be in two parts. The first will deal with the

theory of leadership. Development of technique and skills in organising

recreational activities, programme planning in out-door and in-door activities,

and value of voluntary services and the qualities of volunteers will also

be covered.

The second part of the programe will consist of a practical exercise and a social held at the Fanling Youth Centre on Saturday, August 4.

"The course is aimed at providing guidelines to young people on

good leadership," Mrs. Siu explained. "It is hoped that participants will

be able to apply what they have learned at the course to help us carry out

the various voluntary services for their community. TO

The course will be opened to young people and students aged 15 and

above living in the Tsz Wan Shan District. There will be a $3 charge.
