Running Mentor

Enthusiastic for running, HKBNers designed a volunteer initiative that “take running as a metaphor for our career and life”. The project included a 6-month marathon training for more than 30 young people from Kwai Tsing District, as well as our Talents who ran together with them as their mentors. They had a target of completing two 10-kilometers marathon opens, and in the course drilling their discipline and perseverance for improving their ability to realize their life goals. Another value of this initiative was mentors’ navigation – our volunteers shared with the youngsters the latest information on the career and employment market, and their life experience. This was to help the youngsters set goals and equip themselves prior to the completion of their study, so that they are well prepared to meet with challenges in the future.
