Hong Kong Society for Community Organization (SoCO) (Chinese: 香港社區組織協會) is a non-governmental and human rights advocacy group in Hong Kong. The group was founded in 1971 by church members. It is also financially supported by donations from various churches, overseas funding, the Community Chest and individuals.
