The YASC is one of very few legal training opportunities offered to high school students in Hong Kong where Young Advocates are trained by lawyers to provide support in real asylum cases, help conduct legal research and prepare submissions, and attend client interviews. This three-week program is a great way to add value to college applications and could be an advantage for those considering a career in law! Previous Young Advocates have been accepted into world-renowned universities studying subjects such as law, anthropology, politics, and international development.

The three-week Summer Camp is packed with site visits and external exposure, including international organizations and the legal sector in Hong Kong. Young Advocates receive one-on-one personal coaching and mentorship from highly-qualified international lawyers and gain practical experience in all areas of Justice Centre’s work, including the provision of legal, counseling and social welfare support to refugees and community empowerment initiatives.

One former Young Advocate says, “The Young Advocates Programme is a wonderfully immersive, fulfilling and enjoyable experience. The hands-on legal experience I was able to gain is unrivaled by any similar programs I’ve attended in the past. I also met some of the most ambitious and talented individuals in my fellow Young Advocates and the friendships and connections I’ve made during the program will definitely follow me as I prepare for higher education.”

What’s more, the Summer Camp enables those who are still deciding on potential study or career options to explore their interests.

Give your teen the chance to gain hands-on experience in law in a non-profit setting with the Justice Centre’s Summer Camps!
