Leadership Institute on Narcotics
To encourage young people to assist peers in overcoming the difficulties they face in their development and to resist temptation of drugs, the Narcotics Bureau (NB) of the Hong Kong Police Force founded the “Leadership Institute on Narcotics” (L.I.O.N.) in 2021 with the support of various sectors of the community and recruited 100 secondary and university students over the territory as mentees each year. Through providing systematic training by expertise from different professions and offering guidance on design and implementation of anti-drug activities by mentors, L.I.O.N. fostered mentees’ sense of social responsibility and nurtured them into outstanding young anti-drug leaders.
-
L.I.O.N. aspires to nurture energetic young leaders with moral responsibilities and civic awareness to promote drug-free culture in schools and society. It is hoped that the programme can benefit more local young people, helping them broaden their peers’ horizons and cultivate positive values, and allowing them to learn to appreciate and care about others and contribute to the well-being of the community in various ways.
-
L.I.O.N. will organise a Mainland field trip every year aiming to enhance mentees’ understanding on the national anti-drug strategies and high-tech industries in the Mainland. An overseas trip will also be offered to top performing mentees.
