In addition to direct connections, the forum is connected online to 63 provincial and municipal youth union points nationwide. Many questions were raised by young people to better understand the Party and State's policies and guidelines for youth volunteers and the implementation of these policies in practice.

Ms. Le Thi Nguyet (Ha Tinh) is concerned about specific instructions for sectors and levels to prioritize recruitment of youth volunteers after completing their tasks?

Answering this question, Ms. Luong Thi Hai Anh - Deputy Director of the Department of Youth Affairs (Ministry of Home Affairs), said that the State currently has two laws related to civil servants, namely the Law on Civil Servants and Public Employees and the Law on Public Employees, which include regulations on recruitment for this group.

The Government also issued Decree 138 on recruitment, employment and management of civil servants and Decree 115 regulating the recruitment, employment and management of public employees.

Decree 138 stipulates that one of the priority subjects in recruitment is that youth volunteers who have completed their duties for 20 months or more will be given 2.5 priority points in round 2 when successfully recruited as civil servants.

Decree 115 also stipulates that youth volunteers participating in civil servant recruitment exams will also receive an additional 2.5 points when entering round 2.

In addition, every year, competent authorities will issue plans and widely disseminate information on civil servant and public employee recruitment exams so that candidates with sufficient qualifications, capacity, and suitability for the job position can participate in the exam.

Mr. Le Minh Khoa - Commander of the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Volunteer Force sent a petition to the Ministry of Home Affairs to study and have specific regulations on the model of youth volunteer organization, to ensure that the State's policies are implemented promptly and synchronously for current youth volunteers.

Ms. Hai Anh said that the Ministry of Home Affairs has been closely coordinating with the Central Youth Union to evaluate youth volunteer models and make recommendations to competent authorities to come up with appropriate forms to best promote the role of youth and youth volunteer organizations in the process of building and developing the country.

Support clubs, teams, and volunteer groups

Ms. Do Thi Kim Hoa - Director of the National Volunteer Center - said that by 2030, the Youth Union and Association will orient, support and promote 3,000 volunteer teams, groups and clubs.

In particular, the Central Youth Union determined to carry out tasks such as training the executive board, accompanying clubs, teams, and groups in the area, organizing forums to exchange experiences between provincial and municipal Youth Unions and teams, commending and rewarding, and building an information portal connecting with clubs, teams, and groups.

Currently, 100% of volunteers in the National Volunteer Network are granted volunteer certificates from the center.
