Service Projects

In 2022, the Hong Kong Red Cross Youth Development Service launched the Hong Kong Red Cross University Club (RCU), aimed at cultivating university students into young humanitarian leaders.

The International service programme is an annual signature event initiated by the executive committee of the Hong Kong Red Cross University Club (RCU). The programme participants will be responsible for organizing the overseas service project to the needy. Throughout the planning, implementation and evalution process, they will gain a thorough and first-handed understanding of different needs and humanitarian issues of different countries. For example, we have organized the Nepal Inclusive and Resilient Community Project in Jun 2024.

Additionally, we have established an internship program with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to allow university students to gain firsthand experience of the humanitarian work carried out by the Federation in their respective regions.

After returning to Hong Kong, the youth delegates will share their experiences and insights with other  students, raising awareness and concern among students on international humanitarian agenda.

Number of participants: around 20

Service target: Local university students

Please support Hong Kong Red Cross University Club (RCU) International Service/ Internship Programme, and facilitate students to develop caring and concern projects on humanitarian issues by planning, organizing and implementing overseas services, so as to nurture the youth as a power of humanitarian service.
