The Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA) is dedicated to the welfare of children and youth. They hope to achieve a balanced and happy environment for the nurturing and growth of the youth - physically, intellectually and emotionally.

Adopting an online-community-based and net-generation-oriented approach, Nite Cat Online (Cyber Youth Support Team) utilises Information Technology (IT) and communication tools to provide online and offline counselling, personal growth groups, training on digital creativity and talent development for youth in disadvantaged conditions. The progam also establishes interdisciplinary collaborations with community stakeholders and organisations to promote social inclusion and create a youth-friendly environment for the net-generation. The organization is now recruiting HKUST students to be a Nite Cat Ambassador and volunteer to facilitate and assist the program.

香港小童群益會一直關注兒童及青少年的成長發展,自2011年起推展<夜貓Online>網上青年外展服務,透過社交網站、討論區、即時通訊工具等平台為6至24歲的網絡使用者,提供專業的外展接觸及輔導服務,促進受眾於網絡及現實世界的健康互動,並傳遞互助關懷的網絡文化。  

為建設網絡互助社群及健康網絡文化,夜貓 Online 招募超過460位青年成為「夜貓大使」,協助進行網上接觸、識別、基本輔導、活動程序設計及帶領、數碼媒體創作等工作。第十九期「夜貓大使」訓練計劃即將於六月展開,現誠邀科大同學報名參加。
