Hong Kong Student Welfare Association (Chinese: 香港學生福利聯盟) is the largest youth organization in Hong Kong which has approximately up to 84,000 members. It was founded in 2000. It is formed by more than 70 students' associations or students' councils in Hong Kong. The most famous part of the association is its Welfare Department which gives out discounts of many shops in Hong Kong. It also sells some sports tools and stationaries to the students. The Educational Department often held some inter-school competitions for different subjects.
[edit] Activities
The Activities' Department is responsible for holding different activities among the schools, such as Christmas Ball, SWA Badminton Cup, SWA Football Cup, SWA Basketball Cup and communication with mainland students.
[edit] Influence
Although the association is a non-political concern organization, it is very popular because of its ball games' cups and its discount-in-shops service to students.
