Make Hong Kong a Better Place
At ACS we provide pro bono leadership development and training workshops to all levels of leadership within NGO staff teams serving across Hong Kong. These are delivered and facilitated by Hong Kong’s best business leaders – people like you!
Experts in a wide range of disciplines find volunteering in ACS programs or being a core volunteer at ACS to be a meaningful way to apply their skills in the nonprofit sector. With capacity building programs ranging from deep dive consulting sessions to leadership development on strategy and fundraising, to practical workshops on digital marketing and storytelling, we link Hong Kong’s top-most professionals with nonprofits who are eager to grow.
In the past 15 years since its inception, ACS has served more than 700 NGOs via these capacity building programs. A network of more than 1,200 skilled volunteers has supported this work and in excess of 3,000 NGO leaders who represent a broad range of social causes across Hong Kong.
We draw from a deep pool of talent among our passionate skilled volunteers who cover the gamut of business competencies, enabling them to support our programs in the areas in which they are expert.
Since we began in 2007, our volunteers have clocked up over 35,000 probono skills-based volunteering hours. We are also blessed by the ongoing, active support of staff both paid and volunteer.
Volunteering at ACS also allows you to expand your social reach by working with like-minded business professionals and NGO leaders to make our society a better place.
We have NGO leadership teams who are waiting to learn from you! Why not get involved – for a few hours, for a program, or whenever demand for your expertise is required?

Small and medium sized SPOs that participate in our programs can lack necessary business skills. As a skills-based volunteer, you will help close the gap through your expertise, facilitation and offering a 3rd party perspective. We carefully look at your interests, relevant skills, years of work experience, industry and education background, and language proficiency for the best fit to our programs. As our programs are ever-evolving, we encourage you to reach out and start a conversation to see how you can best help.
We have many opportunities for you to get involved. For our capacity building programs you will be paired with SPOs and serve in the role of consultant, coach or facilitator. This is a great way to get to know SPOs individually and understand the beneficiary needs through the lens of an SPO. You can also support us on different initiatives which include community connecting, volunteer engagement, reaching out to various NGOs and other core functions essential to ACS. So contact us today and let’s start the conversation!

Generally, our capacity building programs will have a set curriculum and a pre-event briefing to go through what is expected. During the event(s), we would also pair new volunteers with experienced volunteers to make the experience more seamless and mutually beneficial. Please reach out with any other questions you might have.
Absolutely! You are more than welcome to continue to be involved. Many of our volunteers have even become board members of the SPOs.
