Joseph Wan

Joseph Wan is Founder of Support!, having started the Foundation as a student group in 2014. He held the position of President for four years, overseeing the growth of the organisation from a volunteer team of seven to over 150, and an impact base of forty to over 1000 per annum in his final term in 2018. Under his leadership, the Foundation grew to operate our English-through-STEAM programme at eight sites, and launched community development initiatives including our Youth Leadership Conference, Leaders of Hong Kong Series and Tidal Wave Series, in collaboration with a network of corporate and community partners. Joseph also initiated the Foundation’s first major fundraising campaign in support of strengthening and enhancing our programmes.

Since stepping down as President, Joseph has maintained a close connection to the Foundation first as an Advisor, and since August 2020 as a Director of the Board. He holds a BA in Comparative Political Theory from Wesleyan University in Connecticut, and spent his first year of college at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London reading international development. Joseph is currently studying and practicing to be an architect, and is interested in the intersection between spatial and social assemblies.
