為關注青年情緒健康，青協在2017年4月9日舉辨了全港首個「背包跑」 – 「HKFYG Run For Wellness」；各參加者在當天一同背起背包及書本跑步，象徵分擔青年壓力，一起為快樂起步。 青協作為一間為青年服務的綠色機構，冀在不同的會內活動中加入環保元素，藉此教育同工和青年環保的重要性。因此，在青協背包跑中，我們亦加入不同的綠色元素，讓參加者在享受賽事的同時，加強他們的環保意識。 青協在活動中實施了以下的環保措施： 1.      回收膠樽 背包跑的其中一個重點環保元素是「增加回收」。因此，我們在場內不同地方設置共6個膠樽回收袋，並安排義工在場內提醒參加者進行回收。當天共回收了約1,000個膠樽、30個紙皮；而據當值義工反映，參加者普遍支持進行膠樽回收，而所收到的膠樽大都潔淨。在此感謝各參加者對環保的支持。       此外，我們亦透過司儀在典禮台上發放環保訊息，感染參加者支持環保。 2.      減發活動物資 在活動中，所有的背包都已分發到參加者和嘉賓中。而活動中剩餘的樽裝水和麵包都在活動後分發同事/義工，減少浪費資源。我們亦在活動中收回有用的物資，以供將來其他活動中使用。 3.      加入環保攤位以推廣環保意識 場內加入了配合大會主題而具環保元素的攤位。透過製作環保驅蚊稻草人，教育參加者以天然方法驅蚊，減少依賴化學物品。 4.    在活動宣傳和資料發放中加入環保章節 為加強同工的環保意識，青協在同事需知中加入「環保注意事項」的欄目，提醒同事注意和實踐環保行為。 環保需要持之以恆 青協在未來將會繼續努力，在不同的活動中加入環保元素，為保護環境盡一分力。
