Youth-led Project Fund


DSE Graduation Project
In response to the overwhelming response last year, CLAP@JC continue to support DSE graduates with the “DSE Graduation Project” this year. The scheme supports DSE graduates to tailor a graduation plan for themselves, which may include learning new skills, cultivating new interests, obtaining professional qualifications, participating in workplace experience, and even designing a local study tour. With the recommendation from social workers from CLAP@JC Resource/ Network NGOs or teachers from CLAP@JC Resource/ Network Schools, DSE graduates are welcome to submit the application form on or before May 31. For details, please refer to the following:
