Echo HK

Echo HK

Echo is a student-led non-profit organization founded by St. Paul's Co-educational College high school students in Hong Kong, interviewing people from different industries to share experience on college applications, career ventures and life stories. We consist of more than 50 members from Hong Kong, UK, America and Canada, and are featured by RTHK, World Economic Forum affliate KIDSforSDGs and Listen Notes. 🍀 So far, we have interviewed more than 30 guests on our talk show, Fireside to share their stories and experiences. They come from all walks of life, such as Former Legislative Council President, Mr. Tsang Yuk-sing, General Manager of Ming Pao Publications, Deputy Chief Editor of Joint Publishing, Former Vice-Chairman of the Arts Development Council, CEOs, Former Dean of HKU Social Sciences, doctors, lawyers as well as Harvard, Oxbridge and HKU med students. Our founder and CEO Wendy Chong realized that many students may not have advisers to turn to when they face important decisions in life during college applications, major exploration and job seeking. Therefore, Echo is founded in hopes of helping those in need by being committed to bridging the educational, opportunity and resource gap. Our podcasts are all available on our website, www.echohk.org
