uCafé
uCafés: great spots to meet, relax and study
Open since last August in five HKFYG Youth SPOTs,*
these cool places to connect, study and chat are popular after school with young people meeting up with friends. They can work on a project, get a quick snack, watch a movie, listen to music or just chill out

Take the uCafé at the newly-refurbished Lung Hang Youth SPOT* for example. There's plenty of room for 20 to 30 students, free Wi-Fi access, space to hold a discussion, power points for notebook computers and coffee when you want one. The coffee is free too, once in a while. Our young members love their uCafés so we're thinking of opening more. For now, the four other uCafés are at the Felix Wong Youth SPOT in Tseung Kwan O, Heng Fa Chuen Youth SPOT, LOHAS Youth SPOT and Tin Shui Youth SPOT.

*Lung Hang Youth SPOT uCafé can be found on 3/F, Lung Hang Estate Community Centre in Lung Hang Estate, 1 Tin Sam Street, Sha Tin. It is a not-for-profit service open to all HKFYG members2.30 to 5.30 pm on Mondays and 2.30 to 9.30 pm Tuesday to Saturday. Call 2698 5565 for more details.
