The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups (HKFYG) is the city’s largest youth service organisation. Since its establishment in 1960, the HKFYG has been providing opportunities and facilities for the social, educational, cultural, emotional and physical development of young people. Income is obtained primarily from government subvention, as well as grants from the Community Chest of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, other trust funds, programme fees, and both private and corporate donations.

The HKFYG, through its youth membership network, provides quality services that address the issues and concerns of young people and promotes healthy all-round development. Over 90 service units organise more than 25,000 activities annually, with attendance to the various programmes nearly six million a year. Over 500,000 registered members are engaged through the online platform, easymember.hk and the HKFYG app.

Products and Services

The HKFYG promotes the concept of “life and career planning” for young people and as a result, the Youth Employment Network (YEN) organises diversified activities that include career counselling services to assist and support the transition from school to work. Since 2002, the Federation encourages pioneering entrepreneurial opportunities through Youth Business Hong Kong (YBHK), The HKFYG Jockey Club Social Innovation Centre and the Young Entrepreneurial Course. Incubation services, seed money, co-working spaces, networking platforms and mentee-centric business mentorships are also provided. Through the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub (E Hub) and the Global Youth Entrepreneurs Forum, local start-ups can develop business networks outside Hong Kong.
