Where young people grow!

About The Living Room

Posted on 24 Apr 2013 Comments Off on About The Living Room

The Living Room is a Hong Kong based social enterprise that exists to provide a safe and empowering environment in which young people (0 -18 years) can discover and develop their God-given talents and abilities. We provide a variety of services such as school holiday camps, music tuition, creative learning classes and life coaching, which are specifically designed to identify each individual child’s unique set of skills and giftings, providing the encouragement and nurturing for them to take root and grow.

The Living Room is run by Matthew and Megan Snelgrove, both true third culture kids who grew up in Asia, with a huge heart for Hong Kong. Through their professional and life experiences, Matt and Meg have seen first hand the effects of the pressures and expectations placed on young people in Hong Kong and have a good handle on both the local and expat scene.

Matt has been working with teenagers for ten years as a youth pastor at The Vine Church, and continues to work with youth in high schools across Hong Kong. He is also the creator of Rock Revolution, a successful music initiative that develops talented young and upcoming musicians. Megan has a background in education and worked as a preschool and primary school teacher for seven years. The past few years she has been taken time out from her professional career to raise three beautiful children.

With Matt and Meg’s passion to seeing Hong Kong kids develop into their full potential, combined with their skill and experience, The Living Room is a creative, lively and inspiring place for all young people to be.

CONNECT – Authentic Community:
We create an environment that welcomes everyone no matter of race, background or academic level. Friendships are formed, trust is established, and kids can be themselves without unnecessary pressures and expectations. This creates fertile ground for true personal development.

CULTIVATE – Personalised Education:
We then work both one-on-one and in group settings with the kids to help them discover their talents, passions and giftings. Once they are identified, we then spend time encouraging and nurturing these gifts to grow through support and training tailored to individual needs and learning methods.

CONTRIBUTE – Adding Value:
Finally, we work with the kids to find unique and fun ways in which they can express these new found gifts and talents while having a positive impact on those around them. Our goal is to see them become active members of their families, communities and greater society.
