The Hong Kong Jockey Club Community Project Grant: Sexual Health Support Programme for Young People

Programme Introduction

With the generous support of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Sexual Health Support Programme for Young People is dedicated to providing comprehensive sexual health support for young people, schools and families.

Led by youth and actively engaging the community, this project closely integrates four core concepts: establishing a foundation through school-based experiential learning, training peer educators and youth ambassadors to promote comprehensive sexuality education, and empowering families to strengthen mutual support networks. We further incorporate artificial intelligence by launching a sexuality education chatbot, enabling youth, parents, and social service professionals to access accurate sexual health information and receive online peer counselling anytime, anywhere.

Through ongoing evaluation activities to generate insights on future strategies, we walk alongside young people to co-create a safe and inclusive environment for open discussions on sexuality, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness of education and support services.
