To love our heritage! Action today! Let’s join AMO YFOH Team !

The Antiquities and Monuments Office has launched a programme, Young Friends of Heritage (YFOH) Scheme” since 2004.

A series of training courses will be provided to members during summer holidays which include lectures, workshops, guided visits to heritage trails etc. YFOH are encouraged to attend all training programme and required to submit a group project and will continue to participate in heritage promotion work and voluntary services after the training.
