Please tell us a few things about the Project Leader, the youth applying for this grant.

 

請介紹一下計劃申請人 – 即是申請此資助的青少年。

If the Project Leader is under the age of 18, please answer the next few questions about the parent/guardian. If the Project leader is over 18, please write N/A.  

假如計劃申請人未滿 18 歲，請回答下列有關家長/監護人的幾條問題。如果計劃申請人年滿 18 歲或以上，則填寫「NA」。

We ask you to find an adult project mentor who will support you in completing your project. Your project mentor can be anyone working with the school or youth organization who is interested in helping you with your project – for example, a teacher, a parent, a coach, a youth leader, etc. While your mentor will help you and give you advice, please help your mentor understand that YOU are in charge of making the important decisions about all parts of your project! 

您必須邀請一位成年人做您的導師，他／她可以是學校或青少年服務機構內任何樂於幫助您完成計劃的人（老師、教練、社工等）。您的導師將沿途幫助您並提供專業意見，但您亦有責任讓幫助您的導師明白，您本人才是對計劃作出一切重要決定的人！

We require all applicants to be associated with a partner organization or school, who will accept the grant funds for you. YSA cannot send grant funds to an individual. If you do not complete this section - or if you enter only an individual’s information - your application will not be accepted.

YSA 不會將資助金發放給個人。所有申請人必須邀請一間青少年服務機構或學校作為合作夥伴，代表您領取資助金。如果您未能完成此部份，或者如果您只填寫個人資料，我們將不會考慮您的申請。

Your project idea should address an issue or problem that affects your community and that you really care about.

We are looking for projects focused on “Bringing Happiness to the Community” and the topics you may consider are:

• To build loving and caring neighbor relationships
  
• To develop caring interpersonal relationships within the family

你的計劃須回應你的社區情況／問題，並以「快樂送上門」為重點。以下為兩大主題：

• 建立關愛的鄰舍關係    
• 促進互愛的家庭關係    

If you have identified a problem or issue in your community but don’t know what to do, please consider reflecting on the following questions:

• What could YOU, together with your friends, and your family do that could make a BIG difference?
• How might YOUR project help you make a lasting, positive change in the world?

如您察覺到社區內有一些問題，您可思考以下問題，有助你想出有意義的活動去解決那些問題：

•        你和你的家人、朋友可如何回應這些社區問題？
•       您的計劃可如何持續地為社區甚至世界帶來正面影響？

YSA, Disneyland Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups will award five grants with a higher amount of funds, HK$8,000.

If you believe that your project idea meets the following requirements, your project may be eligible for the Dream group grant:

• Your project will creatively address an important issue in a way that no one has done before
  
• Is a long-term action that will last for more than two sessions or activities with the beneficiaries
  
• Your project will involve a group of over 25 volunteers

主辦單位會在夢幻組選出最多5個活動，可獲港幣$8,000的資助。如您認為您的計劃達到以下目標，我們建議您申請夢幻組！

• ·      您的計劃十分創新，前無古人，後無來者，兼且回應一個對社區十分重要的問題
  
• ·      您的活動並非一次性，而是長期、具持續性的活動
  
• ·      您的計劃將招募超過25名青年義工
