青年團成立宗旨，為要培養青少年的領導才能、協助他們認識中華文化、瞭解樂善好施的精神及義工工作的意義。青年團分為青年領袖組 (18-30 歲) 及少年組 (14-17 歲)，為高校學生、大專學生及年輕專業人士提供不同活動。兩個小組會定期聚會，協助籌辦各種籌款活動，除了分享活動樂趣之外，更可從中培養團員樂觀進取及服務社群的精神。
DiSCOVER 是一個全面的青年領袖訓練計劃，活動包括一系列研討會及悉心剪裁的講座內容，透過中國的藝術及語言文化等範疇，讓年青人對中國文化有進一步的認識，一方面掌握新的知識和技巧，另一方面認識並拓展個人所長，加深對中華歷史文化的認識。
The Development Challenge is designed for high school students who want to gain real life entrepreneurial experience through participating in a 10-month business challenge as a team. This challenge is a good opportunity for students to develop useful skills for running a successful business and for contributing to our charity for long term care centers and various community programs. Mon Sheong Youth Group has been hosting the Development Challenge for several years and many students have reported having positive experience with the challenge.
All high school students across the Toronto area are welcome to join the 2017-2018 Development Challenge. We are seeking enthusiastic and entrepreneurial students to participate in our business challenge.
Development Challenge 2017-2018
The 2017-2018 challenge is a 10-month competition designed for high school students looking to flex their creative muscles, explore entrepreneurship, and most importantly learn more about business, leadership and teamwork. Through collaborative research, analysis and organization, participating teams are tasked with putting together and executing a business plan.
The journey starts with the team proposal which teams must present to a panel of judges from the Mon Sheong Foundation. Then, pending approval of the concept, teams are given up to $1,000 CAD starting capital to take their proposal and have approximately four months to make it a reality. Throughout the Development Challenge, teams will be offered guidance by more experienced mentors.
Following the four months, half of the profit generated by each team is retained by the team as a reward for their success, while the remaining half is donated back to the Mon Sheong Foundation and goes towards supporting our many non-profit services including long-term care centers and various community programs.
The deadline for this year’s Development Challenge has now passed. Thank you to all participants for applying. Good luck in the competition!
