About Dream2Story

Dream2Story (“D2S”) is a non-profit and a social incubator. https://www.dream2story.org/home

AtD2S, we dream of a Hong Kong where every youth has a chance to realise their own potential and achieve their own definition of success; no matter their background.

We focus on talented youngsters whose talent and/or social background do not lend themselves easily or naturally to the traditional social ladder via tertiary education. We help them navigate the transition between school and work by providing them the life skills, confidence and connections to pursue the pathway towards their own success. Lastly, but most importantly, we will accompany them in the first few steps of this journey by building a community of like minded D2S:Mentors to walk this path with them as mentors and co-pilots.
