MEMBER SELF-RECOMMENDATION SCHEME FOR YOUTH





MEMBER SELF-RECOMMENDATION SCHEME FOR YOUTH

The Member Self-recommendation Scheme for Youth (“MSSY”) is one of the key
initiatives of youth development as set out in the Chief Executive’s 2022 Policy
Address and the Youth Development Blueprint. To engage more young people in
public affairs and enhance their interaction and trust with the Government,
action is in hand to expand the MSSY, with a view to tripling the number of
participating advisory committees from around 60 in 2022 to no less than 180
within the current term of the Government. Young people aged between 18 and 35,
and with a commitment to serving the community, are now invited to apply for
MSSY Phase 7 and self-nominate to become members of specified government
advisory committees.
