YIAA 3.0 
Since 2016, The Boys' & Girls' Clubs Association of Hong Kong has proudly launched the "The Youth ImpACT Award", a pioneering initiative that inspires young people to start with empathy, embrace passion and creativity, and take bold steps toward building a better society. More than just a competition, this is a journey of co-creation — empowering youth to imagine, act, and lead change together.
At the program’s inception, we were honored to welcome The D.H. Chen Foundation as our co-creation and development partner. The initiative has also received support from the Education Bureau, Hong Kong Council of Social Service, Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund (SIE Fund), Hong Kong Island School Heads Association, Kowloon Region School Heads Association, and New Territories School Heads Association.
Thanks to the collective efforts of our partners and supporters over the years, the program has evolved into a new chapter — "The Youth ImpACT Award 3.0". As our founding partner, The D.H. Chen Foundation continues to work closely with us to deepen support for youth-led social innovation, nurturing a new generation of leaders who care about others and are driven to serve their communities.
We firmly believe that every young person with a dream and a heart for change is a seed of transformation. With the right soil and support, these seeds will grow, thrive, and illuminate the future of Hong Kong.

The Boys' and Girls' Clubs Association of Hong Kong
Founded in 1936, The Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA) is one of the longest serving local non-government organisations dedicated to the welfare of children and youth. Our mission to achieve a balanced and happy environment for the nurturing and growth of our young - physically, intellectually and emotionally - has never wavered in our focus of “Nurture the Young, Create the Future”.
In response to rapid changes of our social milieu in recent years, BGCA has established new services in the context of early childhood intervention offered to children at pre-school age, those with special educational needs and their families requiring enhanced parenting support.
BGCA currently delivers services in Hong Kong through over 140 service points and reaches over 190,000 people this year, including over 70,000 members, thus pursuing likewise our coverage of “BGCA All The Way”.
