The Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) has launched the Friends of Heritage (FOH) Scheme since 1997. A wide range of heritage-related training and activities have been arranged for our members, including lectures, workshops and guided visits to monuments. Over the past years, our FOH have volunteered in heritage publicity events, such as International Museum Day Hong Kong, public workshops, school programmes and guided tours. The Office appreciates their enthusiasm and help in promoting local heritage.

In this year, AMO will recruit 120 participants for the Scheme. The applicant should be a Hong Kong resident aged 18 or above and interested in promoting heritage conservation. Applicants who have attended the Briefing Session, and completed at least 10-hour of activity / voluntary work within the practical period will be eligible to become our members. Briefing Session will be held at Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre on 20 Apr 2013(Sat).
