Characteristics Non-competitive and Self-challenging: Opportunities are numerous, yet competition is radical. Young people are often tired of having to fulfil the goals of their parents and teachers. Yet, HKAYP allows and encourages participants to choose freely and challenge themselves, which helps them to build up confidence. Five Sections of Activities: The five sections of activities enable a balanced development of young people. The great varieties of activities help young people to understand more about the society, train their will and bodies, learn new knowledge and improve their interpersonal skill. Well-planned/Structured Life Pattern: Young people nowadays often do not hold a clear objective for life. Their ways of life are orderless. Yet HKAYP requires participants to have a good planning of their own leisure time with clear goals. Their start to experience a well-planned and structured life pattern. Adult Supporting Network: In the process of learning and undertaking activities, adults will offer assistance and directions to young people. Adults are not only young people's guide, but also their friends. This is extremely important when young people come to face obstacles/difficulties. In fact, the Award leaders and volunteers can be a very helpful supporting network for our young people. Social Recognition: There should be recognition to the efforts paid by young people. It is really a very good encouragement when young people, after hard work and devotion, receive their Award from the celebrities. The link between the young people and the society will also be greatly enhanced.
