YouthOnline Association is a charity organization dedicated to youngsters (IR File No:91/7829). A group of volunteers from different professions work together in planning, promotion and development of youth services via the online platform.
Technology is highly developed nowadays. Internet connection accelerates information transfer and at the same time enhances interpersonal communication. By making good use of the internet, we aim to develop an online platform for the youth to meet up and share information. Borderless network connection and gathered existing community resources enable the youth to obtain more healthy information as well as develop proper values and attitudes.
To meet both physical and mental needs of the youth during their growth, apart from creating a healthy online platform, we also involve in organizing various youth activities, which targeted to bring their talents into full play, help them to self-improve and promote self-image through participating in the activities. Since 1999, we have been working closely with different social service organizations, such as the Summer Youth Programme Committee, Fight Crime Committee, Agency for Volunteer Service, the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, the Hong Kong Internet Service Providers Association, the Association of Heads of Secondary Schools of Tsuen Wan & Kwai Chung District, the Hong Kong Federation Of Students etc., and assist them in planning and promoting various events.

It was so encouraging as these awards symbolize the recognition for our efforts on youth work.
