What is BOLD Buddy?
Along the mission of BOLD@CityU to raise secondary school students’ aspirations in planning their pathways for the future, CityU sets up a BOLD Buddy Scheme to help secondary school students to gain knowledge and insights in university education from another perspective, i.e., CityU students as their buddies. In particular, the Scheme aims to
- build rapport and connections between CityU and secondary school students;
- provide meaningful social and academic learning experiences for both CityU and secondary school students;
- give CityU students leadership opportunities, in which they can be role models for the secondary school students;
- give secondary school students opportunity to have more all-rounded understanding of university life and education; and
- foster connections between the University and secondary schools.

How does the BOLD Buddy work?
The BOLD Buddy will develop a one-on-one mentor-mentee relationship between CityU student and secondary school student. The pair-up Buddy team is expected to
- join competitions or events;
- discuss university application and education;
- share university life and experiences; and
- enjoy social gathering.
CityU will work with the secondary school students and CityU students on the paring up process, based on their areas of study and interests.
Target Groups
- Secondary school students: F.3 to F.5 students in local secondary schools (or equivalent year of study in international schools), with the recommendation of the student’s school.
As a Secondary School Student (a mentee)
BOLD Buddy will give secondary school students an opportunity to ask questions and get specific help from your CityU buddy. You may want to ask about your university application/interview, or how life at the university is like! You may also join competitions and activities together with CityU students and other secondary school students to learn new knowledge and widen your horizon.
