New, difficult, and important tasks arising during the summer campaign were promptly advised on and implemented effectively, creatively, and proactively by all levels of the Youth Union.

Mr. BUI QUANG HUY (First Secretary of the Central Youth Union)

This information was announced by the Central Youth Union at a summary meeting held in Hanoi and online at many locations nationwide. There were over 57,300 teams participating in the 2024 summer volunteer campaigns, marking the 25th anniversary of the implementation of the Summer Youth Volunteer Campaign by young people nationwide.

The establishments have carried out nearly 50,000 youth projects and tasks associated with building new rural areas, civilized urban areas, protecting the environment, responding to climate change, ensuring traffic order and safety, caring for social security and supporting children.

First Secretary of the Central Youth Union Bui Quang Huy cited one of the outstanding activities of the 2024 volunteer summer as the 30-day peak emulation campaign to complete the 500kV line 3 from Quang Trach (Quang Binh) to Pho Noi (Hung Yen).

In particular, the image of youth volunteer teams joining the functional forces to serve in the state funeral of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City left many warm feelings in the people. They supported the forces serving the funeral, the people coming to pay their respects, and the functional forces to direct traffic to ensure security, order, and environmental sanitation throughout the funeral process.

According to Mr. Huy, the participation in preventing and overcoming the consequences of unusual storms and floods is also a highlight and has been very proactive at all levels. In particular, many provincial and municipal Youth Unions have proactively mobilized resources and quickly established youth volunteer teams to support areas heavily affected by storms and floods.

"Young people have clearly demonstrated the spirit of sharing, mutual love, and volunteerism. In addition to supporting residential areas, they have also proactively shared and supported neighboring areas to overcome the consequences of natural disasters," said Mr. Huy.

Along with that, the propaganda for the summer volunteer campaigns is also invested in by many units and establishments, contributing to spreading the results and values ​​achieved by the campaign in the community. Statistics show that there have been hundreds of thousands of news, articles and images appearing on mass media and social networking sites with nearly 24.5 million views.

Projects benefit more than 775 billion VND

The Central Youth Union's statistics on the results of youth projects and activities during the summer show that they have benefited society by more than 775 billion VND.

Of which, there are 1,870 provincial-level projects (worth more than 95 billion VND), 4,944 district-level projects (more than 274 billion VND) and 42,830 grassroots-level projects (nearly 406 billion VND).
