Student Impact
Students are the core of our changes
We value student growth both inside and outside of classrooms. Our Fellows increase students’ learning motivation and confidence. In addition, they organized a variety of Extra-Curricular Activities and Life and Career Education events to enrich students’ learning experience.

Fellow’s Impact
We nurture future leaders across sectors to expand opportunities for grassroots students
Our Fellows have access to leadership development and career resources before, during, and after their Fellowships. We draw upon the diversity and talents among our Fellows and shape them into a more empathetic and outspoken changemaker.
From our Summer Institute to a community network of over 100 Alumni, we support our Fellows on their journey to pioneer creative solutions to education inequity.

School Impact
We democratize access to a quality education
Underprivileged students should receive the same opportunity to develop their academic, personal, and professional goals. The gap between resources often prevent them from realising their potential and developing their confidence. Our Fellows is part of an important force to create an equitable education in underprivileged schools.
“After a period of time, the group of students taught by Fellows has obviously improved. They become more willing to speak and more confident in learning English. The enthusiasm and courage of the young Fellows have brought a sense of freshness and vitality to our school.”
Principal Shum | Ju Ching Chu Secondary School (Kwai Chung)
“With their diverse and non-educational background, Fellows are connected with different sectors in the society, and provide opportunities for students to get in touch with the outside world. They have transferred their strengths to become the strengths of their students.”
