I warmly welcome you to the LEAP website! Here you will be able to find information about our education programmes, catch up on our latest developments, and discover valuable tips on how to live a healthy lifestyle. You will also be able to share some of the stories of our expertly trained and passionate educators.
Since 1994, LEAP has been on this critical mission, empowering young people with the knowledge, skills, and resilience they need to make informed choices and build healthy, fulfilling lives. To date, over 2.3 million students and 100,000 parents have benefited from LEAP’s programmes. This is not just data – it is about the future of our community. By investing in our youth, we are investing in a safer, more vibrant Hong Kong where every child has the opportunity to thrive.
To meet the evolving needs of the youth population, our core programmes have expanded from drug prevention to encompass a wider range of issues, including social and emotional learning, sexual health and relationships, and cybersecurity. We tailor our carefully designed programmes to the unique needs of different age groups – from primary school students to secondary students and those with special needs. We employ innovative teaching methods, interactive activities and evidence-based curricula to help students acquire knowledge and skills for healthy lifestyle, develop problem-solving abilities, and foster positive values and attitudes from a young age, so that they can grow up with confidence and make safer, wiser choices for their health.
LEAP’s journey wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of a dedicated community. We are deeply grateful to our major sponsors, Swire Pacific Limited and Cathay Pacific Airways Limited, for their long-term commitment to empowering young minds. Equally crucial are the contributions of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Education Bureau, the Narcotics Division of the Security Bureau, and the Tobacco and Alcohol Control Office of the Department of Health, whose collaboration strengthens our fight against substance abuse. We cherish the guidance of our Health Ambassador, Mr. Andy Lau Tak Wah, and our Life Buddy, Ms. Vivienne Tam, whose passion inspires both our team and beneficiaries. A heartfelt thank you goes to Eastern Worldwide Co. Limited, the Sun Hing Group of Companies, Orient Trucking Limited, and A & S (HK) Logistics, for their invaluable support. Finally, we express our deepest gratitude to the schools, principals, teachers, volunteers, and friends of LEAP, whose collective effort forms the lifeblood of our organization.
Whether you’re a concerned parent, a passionate educator, a corporate leader, or simply someone who believes in the power of potential, your support matters. Every child is unique and special, and it takes the collective effort of the entire community to raise a child. Whether you volunteer your time, donate your resources, or simply spread our message, you become a part of the LEAP story, a catalyst for positive change.
Thank you all for believing in the potential of young people and for enabling us to build a brighter future, one empowered choice at a time.
Patricia Hwang
Chair, LEAP
