YoWo Community Changemakers

 

YoWo Community Changemakers is a two-pronged project to create long-term impact – firstly to empower and nurture young women to become changemakers and problem-solvers of the future through practical skill-based training; in turn, the young women will identify problems and look for solutions within the community through focus groups and site visits, and run a service project with the aim of improving the welfare and wellbeing of underprivileged groups.

 

HKGGA is now recruiting 20 young women to establish the YoWo Community Changemakers Core Team. If the following sounds like you, join us now!

  • HKGGA Members aged 16 to 30
  • Eager to bring positive change to the community and help those in need
  • Interested in personal growth and developing various skills, such as problem-solving, project planning, governance, leadership, collaboration, etc.     

 

Project Content and Responsibilities of the Core Team:

  • Multifaceted training and workshops for the Core Team;
  • Focus groups and site visits;
  • Exploring topics in the community and identifying issues for improvement;
  • Develop innovative and sustainable solutions for the issues and design an action plan;
