In today’s world, many Voluntary Welfare Organizations (VWOs) are facing with common problems which threaten their sustainability. (E.g. low volunteer retention rates, obsolete fund-raising ideas and insufficient IT knowledge). How to attract sufficient resources for VWOs sustainability becomes more and more important.

It aims to consolidate refreshing ideas and possible solutions from both local and overseas youth aged between 16 and 25 years old.  This mutually beneficial collaboration aims to expose youth to the challenges in the social service sector, whilst the Voluntary Welfare Organizations (VWOs) stand to benefit from their new and perhaps innovative ideas.
