Each year the run aims to be a major
Youth Day Celebration that signals to our youths they are valued
and cared for, they belong and they can contribute.
It is an event for youths by youths. Since 2001, youths from
diverse backgrounds volunteer their time and energy in putting
together an event where marginalized and mainstream youths come
together in a spirit of friendship, co-operation and unity.
By getting troubled youths to be part of an annual national youth
event, we show them that our society wishes them well and is proud
of their efforts to keep their lives on track.
As participants, youths from welfare organisations will become
ambassadors for their organisations providing them a sense of
purpose and pride. Those from Beyond Social Services will have
sponsors who take an active interest in their progress. Hence, to
be accountable to their sponsors youths have to be responsible and
transparent in their race preparations, schoolwork and other
aspects of their lives.
In short, the event creates the context to impart to our young
people the important principles of accountability, responsibility
and transparency in a simple way that they can understand and
experience.
