CS reviews Immigration Department Youth Leaders Corps 10th Anniversary Grand Parade (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     The Immigration Department Youth Leaders Corps (IDYL) held the 10th Anniversary Grand Parade at the Immigration Service Institute of Training and Development (ISITD) in Tuen Mun today (December 29). The Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Chan Kwok-ki, reviewed a total of 85 IDYL members.
 
     In his speech, Mr Chan stressed that young people form a vital force in safeguarding the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, and promoting Hong Kong's integration into the country's overall development. He recognised the efforts of the Immigration Department (ImmD) in youth training and hoped that the IDYL will continue to pass the baton to the new generation.
 
     After the Grand Parade, Mr Chan officiated at the 10th Anniversary Celebration Ceremony together with the Director of Immigration, Mr Benson Kwok, and members of the Management Committee of the IDYL, and presented the certificates of promotion to the IDYL members who completed the training and assessments.
 
     At the ceremony, Mr Kwok stated that the ImmD attaches great importance to youth work. He expressed his gratitude to the Advisory Committee for their dedicated contribution of valuable advice and resources to the IDYL's development, and to member schools for their long-term partnership with the ISITD to provide regular training for IDYL members. Looking ahead, he hoped that under his leadership, the ImmD will continue to guard the country's southern gateway while nurturing new blood for the country through efforts in youth work. The Commissioner of the IDYL, Dr Cheng Kam-chung, mentioned that the Advisory Committee will continue to support the IDYL in creating opportunities for the growth and development of Hong Kong young people.
 
     The ImmD formed its youth uniformed group in December 2013 and the group was officially renamed the Immigration Department Youth Leaders Corps in 2021 to provide disciplinary and leadership training for Hong Kong young people. Through diversified training and group activities, it aims to develop members' affection for the country and Hong Kong and their law-abiding awareness. It also aims to nurture a young generation of good character, strong leadership skills, positive thinking and enthusiasm for serving the community among members.
