CYC Organization
The organisation of the CYC includes schools as its basic units. Most of the primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong have joined the CYC scheme and become regular members. All students in a member school can apply to join the CYC, and a teacher is appointed as the teacher-in-charge to conduct CYC activities under the leadership of the school head.
CYC Council
The Council is the top level decision-making body of the CYC with the Principal Assistant Secretary for Education as the president. His/her duties are to ensure that the CYC achieves its aim and objective, to determine the overall policy of the CYC and to make recommendations on its overall development, to lay down directives for the reference of the Executive Committee, and to ensure CYC resources are sufficient and properly utilised.
