Volunteers are an intricate part of the JA network in Hong Kong. They devote their time, experience and heart to the youth of Hong Kong. Here are some of the things they have said about their students and JA programs: |

"I think for the objectives of the programme, it is designed quite well. The idea is to have interactive dialogue between a responsible, successful adult from the real world and young people who are coming of age. The core value is the dialogue and potential for increased respect of the responsibilities in being an adult, which can translate to more respect for their parents.

"Overall it’s a good experience for me to practice my communication and motivation skill. For further improvement, JA may think about to create an online forum for all business advisors during the period, it’s good channel for us to share the thoughts. I would like to express my gratitude to thank you JA to provide me to gain a golden experience and happy memory. Good Luck !! " ~ 2004/05 Company Programme Volunteer |

"It was better than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised by the energy and enthusiasm of the students. Since the concepts being taught are not easy, I was nervous I would not be able to explain them properly, but the students were highly motivated by the challenge and they were fun and easy to work with." ~ 2004/05 MESE Volunteer |

| Job Shadowing: | ||||||
|
"Happy to meet the young people, talk about their interests, career, expectation in future working environment. We had a group of four students handled by two mentors, in a quiet meeting room, with projector for some topics. The partnership of two mentors seemed to work well, as the dialogue with the students was spontaneous and unofficial, filled with questions and comments from both side. The mentor partnership also allowed one of us to attend some urgent matters in the day." ~ 2005 Job Shadowing Volunteer |

"Overall experience is now the younger students is better than ourselves. They can be well prepared for their future. They know/understand what they need to do for the future. The programme is good and suitable for them. Nothing to change at this moment!" ~ 2005 My Money Business Volunteer |

| Success Skills: | ||||||
|
"Very great program. And I am definitely very interested in joining as a volunteer of JA. Best Satisfaction is that I see those shy shy students finally willing to speak up & share ideas, which is very happy to see that!" ~ 2005 Success Skills Volunteer |
