Background

The "Jockey Club InspiringHK SportsCHAT!" programme aims to support secondary school girls in doing sports, building confidence and protecting themselves. Female volunteers are recruited as “Sports Buddies” of the girls to participate in the activities together, share career advice and help broaden their horizons! The first three-year "Jockey Club SportsCHAT!" (2019-2021) programme ended successfully. We have reached out to over 2,000 teenage girls and 400 female volunteers, receiving great acclaim from various partners. The programme will renew for another upcoming three years (2021-2024) which is supported by the HKJC Charities Trust.

What we have

Half-day Volunteer (Buddy) Training will be provided.

Why this is important

This programme reinforces our mission to promote gender equality through sports.
