Summer Youth Programme
―
A Hong Kong wide Summer Youth Programme, bearing the central theme 'Hong Kong, Our Home Let's Serve and Share', is organised each year for children and youth aged from six to 25. Social, recreational and community activities are held for participants to broaden their knowledge, develop their skills, appreciate human relationships, understand the community in which they live and enhance their sense of responsibility to the community. In 2000, about 23 800 activities were organised, involving two million young people at a total cost of about $65 million. The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust donated $20 million and the balance was met by the Government, the District Councils, private donations and participants' fees.
