YAF presents two awards annually that aim at commending promising secondary school students, namely the Hong Kong Outstanding Students Award (since 1985) and the Youth Arch Student Improvement Award (formerly known as the Best Improved Students Award) (since 1991). A wide range of activities (e.g., Student Internship Program, Overseas Service Trip, Career and Life Planning Support Programs) are organized for awardees to actively participate in community services and to realize leadership potential. In addition, YAF established the Youth Committee that provides platform for youth to interact and learn from each other; and to support youth in terms of their personal, educational, career and life developments.
