Nurturing Leaders for Two Decades: A Legacy of Excellence

The HKFYG Leadership Institute (the Institute) is dedicated to creating a new generation of leaders for Hong Kong, with 200,000 having been trained since 2000. The Institute provides diverse training and exchange programmes to broaden the horizons of young people, while also offering opportunities and platforms for them to meet established, renowned and distinguished leaders who speak and share their stories from different perspectives and industries.

Built upon years of foundation, the Institute offers training for young people from primary schools to tertiary institutions to those in the workplace in four main themes, namely Resilient Leadership, Service Leadership, Sustainable Leadership, and Communicative and Collaborative Leadership. Young leaders will be engaged and involved in high-quality programmes, intercultural exchanges and hands-on experiences to enhance their personal attributes, civic awareness, sense of responsibility, and service mindset locally, nationally and globally.

The former Fanling Magistracy in 1978

Where Heritage Meets Innovation

Erected in 1960, the former Fanling Magistracy was the first magistrates' court in the New Territories and officially opened in 1961. To meet the growing demand for judicial services, two additional courtrooms, support offices, and a Duty Lawyer Service office were added in 1983 and around 1997. Due to a lack of essential modern facilities, the former magistracy was decommissioned in 2002 following the completion of the new Fanling Law Courts Building.

Under the “Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme”, The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups transformed the building into Hong Kong’s first leadership institute in 2018. The site now blends heritage with technology to support youth development while preserving its historical significance.
