We are looking for 2 Site Director, 2 Secretaries, and 2 Treasurers to form the Executive Team. They will be a group of creative, bright, enthusiastic, and dedicated youngsters with a strong initiative to improve the lives of Hong Kong's underprivileged group. The main responsibility of the team is to design, organize and run a Summer Programme for underprivileged children aged 9-12. Past experience is NOT required as we encourage new ideas/approaches but you will receive full support from us. All members of the committee are required to be in Hong Kong during July and August 2012. We prefer candidates who can speak conversational Cantonese.

Here is what our previous exucutive committee members have to say about the Access HK Summer Programme:

" And it’s not just the fun times, the friendships formed during the process of the program I am talking about. These you can find in many volunteering programmes… It’s also the genuine impact I felt we made. Many of the children have rown more confident during the programme…This is much due to the unique nature of Access HK. ”

“ ... The challenges you face and the people you meet along the journey are just a part of the fun; this is your chance to make you feel that you're making a change in someone's life, giving them a little insight into the world that is out there. The committee experience was, for me, full of pleasant surprises and experiences, full of responsibility, but last (and definitely not least!), full of teamwork and hard work. It's most certainly something I would do again. ”

“ ... Being the site director was one of the toughest post I have uptaken, but also one of the most rewarding. I have learnt so much from my committee members, volunteers and students, and made valuable friends. However, I believe the best part of the experience was to give inspiration to children that was pushed aside from conventional learning and seeing a smile on their face. "

Skills such as how to communicate and deal with difficult people, especially children. These skills will be instrumental to your future development; whether in career or personal life.

Lifelong friendships are developed during the programme, volunteers from previous years still have regular events to further bond their friendship;

An experience in making a difference -- you will know you have made a difference, when you hear the laughter from the very children who had dreaded to go to school every day before joining the programme.
