Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) has long supported the Macao SAR Government’s “Macau Thrives on Education” and “Building Macau through Talent Training” policies by advancing local youth development. Since 2011, GEG has co-organized the GEG Youth Achievement Program (YAP) with the Macau Management Association (MMA). Anchored in three core themes, the program offers training and cross-sector exchange opportunities for local youth aged 18 to 29, attracting more than 3,600 participants to date.

On 22 January, GEG hosted the 14th YAP Award Presentation and the 15th YAP Launching Ceremony at the Galaxy International Convention Center, recognizing participants’ achievements and kicking off the new edition of the program.

At the ceremony, the organizers presented awards to outstanding participants and invited Macau athlete Kuok Kin Hang – gold medalist in the Male Amateur Team Kata at the 15th National Games of the People’s Republic of China – to share his story of perseverance and breakthroughs, encouraging young people to embrace challenges as part of their personal growth.

Philip Cheng, Director of GEG, said, “GEG has always attached great importance to nurturing talent. Over the years, we have worked closely with MMA to build YAP into a dynamic platform that brings together diverse elements of learning and exchange. Looking ahead, GEG will continue to support young people to ‘Reach Out, Reach Beyond’, pushing past their limits and achieving excellence.”

Tommy Lau, Council Chairman of MMA, said, “MMA is committed to advancing the holistic development of local youth. Together with GEG, which shares our vision, we have co-organized YAP for many years, providing solid and diverse activities and training to help participants grow academically, professionally, and socially.”
