Caritas Community & Higher Education Service (明愛社區及高等教育服務) is a branch of the Education Division of Caritas - Hong Kong. It was founded in 1963 and originally called Caritas Adult and Higher Education Service (明愛成人及高等教育服務). In 2007, it was renamed Caritas Community & Higher Education Service (明愛社區及高等教育服務).

In 1966, the first adult education centre was set up by Shak, Wai Han, Therese.[1] Full-time programmes were started in 1969. In 2000, Caritas Community & Higher Education Service offered Project Yi Jin[2] programmes, which provided secondary Five school leavers and mature students aged 21 or above with an alternative education pathway. [3] (Note: In the 2012/13, the Education Bureau introduced the Diploma Yi Jin[2] Programme in place of the former Project Yi Jin[2] Programme to provide an alternative pathway for secondary Six school leavers as well as adult learners.)
