Background

SOSKELY is KELY's staple outreach service, which aims to reduce harm and promote care among participants in major events in Hong Kong. With the aim of encouraging hydration during these events, our service interacts with different event-goers through alcohol-free activities, providing them with safe party tips, and providing a safe space for rest and immediate support.

What we have

All volunteers are required to attend a compulsory training and briefing session. Interested parties will only need to attend 1 session. It will be held FACE TO FACE in San Po Kong and conducted in English. Once you apply for this volunteer opportunity, we will email you a Google Form for registration. Please indicate which training session you will be joining in the form.

Why this is important

KELY Support Group aims to empower young people in Hong Kong to reach their full potential. We strive to connect with young people and take good care of them at major events with our SOSKELY harm reduction outreach service.
