BACKGROUND

Bridging Communities Through Sport

The Jockey Club Rugby United Project is an initiative designed to promote social cohesion among Hong Kong youth through the sport of rugby. This program harnesses the universal values embedded in sports—teamwork, respect, and determination—to bridge the gaps among youth from diverse academic and socioeconomic backgrounds. By providing a welcoming and inclusive environment, the program aims to foster essential soft skills that support personal development and community engagement.
