Echo HK

Are you feeling anxious and confused about choosing a subject, applying for a university, or finding a job? Have you lost your way in life and still can't find an exit until now?

Don't fret! We are here for you. Echo is a student-led non-profit organization founded by St. Paul's Co-educational College high school students in Hong Kong, interviewing people from different industries to share experience on college applications, career ventures and life stories. We consist of more than 50 members from Hong Kong, UK, America and Canada, and are featured by RTHK, World Economic Forum affliate KIDSforSDGs and Listen Notes.

So far, we have interviewed more than 30 guests on our talk show, Fireside to share their stories and experiences. They come from all walks of life, such as Former Legislative Council President, Mr. Tsang Yuk-sing, General Manager of Ming Pao Publications, Deputy Chief Editor of Joint Publishing, Former Vice-Chairman of the Arts Development Council, CEO of OWN Academy, Former Dean of HKU Social Sciences, doctors, lawyers as well as Harvard, Oxbridge and HKU med students. Our founder and CEO Wendy Chong realized that many students may not have advisers to turn to when they face important decisions in life during college applications, major exploration and job seeking. Therefore, Echo is founded in hopes of helping those in need by being committed to bridging the educational, opportunity and resource gap. Our podcasts are all available on our website, www.echohk.org. Ultimately, we hope that through our platform, the diversity of human experience can be recognized and appreciated.

Echo strives to be a novel network that uses social media as a medium of inspirational storytelling. We seek to celebrate humanity by actively listening to these voices, sparking conversations and helping foster a more caring and interconnected global community. 🌍

Through conversations with people from diverse livelihoods and backgrounds, we gather enlightening perspectives that can hopefully guide you as you navigate through uncharted waters in life. Not only career insights will be imparted, but also advice on managing your time and emotions. Our initiatives include Fireside - guest interviews from all walks in society, Breeze & Wonder - podcasts where our board members discuss various topics, Palette - where submissions of stories and media are welcomed, as well as Haven - where you’re free to share your thoughts and emotions🎤

Ultimately, we hope that through our platform, the diversity of human experience - transcending national, cultural and generational boundaries - can be recognized and appreciated. ✨

We hope to have your generous support and donations so that we can continue our day-to-day maintenance of our website and subscriptions across various platforms such as Wix, Zoom and RSS Feed to keep our podcasts live and help those in need.
