WHAT IS #20IMAPCT20?

This year marks the third annual #20IMPACT20 event, hosted by Outward Bound Hong Kong in collaboration with our Title Sponsor, The Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club. This is Outward Bound's largest sea challenge, designed to create a meaningful impact.

Last year, 20 resilient individuals participated in a sailing expedition that equipped them with valuable insights, enabling them to positively impact 20 communities. 

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

20 resilient youth will set sail on the largest training yacht in Hong Kong— The Spirit of Outward Bound Hong Kong—to begin their offshore sailing expedition. They will be equipped with skills in resilience, confidence, compassion, teamwork, and a sense of environmental responsibility for the future.

Upon their return, they will collaborate in teams to apply the lessons learned and make a positive impact on 20 underprivileged youth communities. This initiative aims to develop their future skills, promote social inclusion, and cultivate a strong sense of well-being.

Thank you to our title sponsor, The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club, who makes this expedition possible!

With their generous support, the sailing expedition will be fully funded for all selected participants.
