About VIVA Youth
What we are
VIVA Youth is a youth development platform for people in Hong Kong aged 25 and under, structured around two membership chambers — local and non-local — with a joint programme designed to build sustained contact between them.
It combines skills training, community service and structured social programming with a verifiable credentialing layer, so participation and outcomes can be measured rather than estimated. Entry membership is set at HK$690 a year to remain accessible to students.
At a glance
How it is put together
Two chambers
Local and non-local membership chambers, with a joint programme designed to build sustained contact between them.
Four pillars
Skills training, community service and structured social programming, alongside a programme about the city itself.
Measured, not estimated
A verifiable credentialing layer means participation and outcomes can be measured rather than estimated.
Accessible to members
Entry membership is set at HK$690 a year to remain accessible to students.
The calendar
Four things, one shared calendar
Both chambers share the same calendar. Around four in ten events are joint.
Skills Worth Having
Workshops and short courses in the capabilities employers actually test for: writing clearly, handling data, speaking in public, managing money, leading a small team.
A Wider Circle
Structured social programming across both chambers — dinners, mixers and small-group formats designed so that conversation actually happens rather than being left to chance.
The City Itself
Walks, site visits and conversations with the people who run things — so members understand how the city works and where they fit into it.
Work That Gives Something Back
Community service run with partner organisations, recorded by hours and outcome so that a member's contribution can be shown rather than described.
The wider VIVA
