“Accenture’s engagement with FSI is special in that it gives our consultants the opportunity to work on the frontline and directly engage with social impact organizations and support them with our own skill. To be connected with under-resourced communities in Hong Kong and using our skills to help them really adds meaning to the engagement. And working with people from different backgrounds with different mindsets, helps us to think and see things in different ways by embracing the differences.”

“FSI's Board Director Training is unique. Compared to alternative programs on this topic, the workshops were more direct, more applied, more interactive, and more fun. The FSI series also helped me to understand the importance of boundaries between board roles and responsibilities, plus the importance of Advisory Boards.”

“Our team at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP has found it so rewarding to be able to work on a project for Wedu. Giving back to society just gives you that strong sense of satisfaction and purpose, and this assignment has really created another community within our firm around public interest work and around gender equality causes, which is amazing. I think I would not have been connected with Claire at Wedu and also built that team around me without Community Connections.”
Sandy Lin
Partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
“I’ve benefited immensely. The exposure and introduction that Community Connections provided by bringing together NGOs that were able to articulate their mission and needs really expedited what might have been months worth of research for me. It is a wonderful reminder for me of the humanity within all of us that often just needs an avenue to channel it.”

“It has been a transformative experience working with FSI. Not only has it enriched my experience, but it also allowed me to develop a diverse set of skills and knowledge that will be instrumental in my future career. Most importantly, this internship has shaped my professional aspirations and ignited a deep passion within me to continue supporting small business owners, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, to foster a more inclusive and supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem in Hong Kong.”

“My journey of assisting Senchu in her business venture in Hong Kong has been a tremendous learning experience. I’ve gained valuable insights into the intricacies and excitement involved in starting up a business, which has inspired me to create a startup myself, too. This experience has also exposed me to the challenges that arise for the ethnically diverse communities to set up a new business in Hong Kong. The satisfaction I gained from knowing that my contributions have made a positive impact on someone’s business and life surpasses any satisfaction I’ve previously experienced solely through academic pursuits in school.”

“100% I would recommend the Impact Lab Course to others because I think Impact Lab is something very special that you don’t always get to come by in your university studies. Out of the courses I take, Impact Lab is the one I love the most, because I’m actually learning something practical, and I know that what I learn right now is going to pay off in the future, when I step into the professional field.”

“If we didn’t join the Mentorship Program in 2022, the way we mature as business owners now would have been completely different. That’s why I usually introduce FSI to people as a way of giving back. The Mentorship Program doesn’t just benefit me and Aaron but also the whole team.”

“Working with the team at FSI has been an incredibly positive experience. I would absolutely recommend their services to other small- and medium-sized business owners. They are truly caring and have good intentions when it comes to supporting entrepreneurs like myself.”

"Connecting mentors with mentees is the best favor you can do to an aspiring entrepreneur.

"Any startup that really wants to make a mark should definitely consider joining FSI and the CBS community. We are a product-based company, and having a place where you could come and take product shots and have the right branding, is what I feel I can always rely on FSI for. With the continuous support from FSI, we’re able to make a name for ourselves in the startup community, one being getting to the top 30 Alibaba Jumpstarter Competition."

“Understanding the responsibilities and obligations of a board really helped me see how I will organize my own NGO in the coming years. I feel much more competent when it comes to working with and recruiting non-executive directors.”
