School Ambassador Programme

About

The HKDI School Ambassador Committee is dedicated to restoring dignity to the most vulnerable and marginalised populations in Hong Kong. We do this by educating fellow students about the legal, mental and social issues faced by these populations through mobilising our peers to meaningfully contribute to the success of HKDI. Membership in the School Ambassador Committee is open to individuals who wish to take a leadership role in their communities to support and participate in HKDI’s service, projects, fundraising, and volunteer activities.

Throughout the year, the School Ambassador Committee is invited to elevate our efforts to serve our clients by coordinating and hosting educational volunteer activities, holding fundraisers, and other relevant events.
