We are the YFC Passionate Heart group and we are raising funds for Teck Ghee Youth Centre

Overview of Passionate Heart
The proposed social enterprise is by youth and for students to make and sell the merchandise to the rest of the publec, to let them show their concern and support for the Teck Ghee Youth Centre. Hence, our enterprise will be called "Passionate Heart". Volunteers from CCKSS will be recruited to make and sell these items to raise funds through street sales. Throughout the course, students will gather together to make items like friendship bands, friendship pens and clay clips to support the cause.

Details of Teck Ghee Youth Centre-Care Corner
Care Corner- Teck Ghee Youth Centre operates programmes to help needy youths so that they will receive the support necessary to get them back on the right path in life.

Targeted at youths who tend to stray into at-risk and socially unacceptable behaviour like drug-consumption, teen gangs and other delinquent behaviour, our programmes reach out to students who are still in school but may not be academically inclined and have little parental supervision. Many are from needy, single-parent or dual income homes whose parents work long hours, in order to make ends meet.

Since the official opening of the centre in late 1999, a total of 1,013 beneficiaries have passed through our doors. We aim to keep youth off the streets and prepare them for meaningful roles in the society.

Core Programme: Evergreen Bees Mentoring Programme
A preventing and developmental programme that is made up of meaningful, interactive enrichment sessiona and holistic activities. Targeted at children and youths (Primary 4 to Secondary 5) who are at rish, and often have little or no parental supervision, this programme incoporates tuition and supervised play-time with volunteer mentors.
