Come join HKUST Sail and Shine Program !
The HKUST Sail and Shine Program, co-organized by HKUST Connect and the Hong Kong Yacht & Start-up Association (HKYSUA) with the support of the Hong Kong Inter-university BigBoat Association, aims to help students reach their full potential, embrace curiosity, and cultivate a lifelong passion for learning. The program is funded by the Whole-person Development Fund. During the program, students will participate in multiple sessions to learn the fundamentals of operating a yacht and experience the thrill of sailing. Students will also be responsible for organizing yacht-based programs for various communities, including underprivileged families and individuals with different disabilities. This unique opportunity allows them to manage a yacht at sea while simultaneously serving those in need.
