The Yuen Long community has a large young generation with a high percentage of juvenile delinquents. The majority of its population lives along the poverty line. There are not many job opportunities within the area. Youths who have the least studying and working opportunities would have a high tendency to be influenced by the triad society's sub-culture. Youths heading towards the wrong direction would eventually cost society a heavy price.

In view of the need, with sponsorships of the Youth Sustainable Development &Engagement Fund and Fast Base Enterprises Ltd., HKCS launched a one-year program, 'Project iHeart' in June. It aims to help youths (aged 15 to 24) in Yuen Long who are neither in school nor at work, to turn away from the influence of the triad society's sub-culture. Youths are empowered to establish new identities, acquire new experiences, re-assess values, and establish new relationships and supporting networks. Trainings and suitable opportunities are used to inspire them to go back to school, take up vocational training plans and eventually join the labor force the healthy developmental social ladder accepted by society.
