Since 2012, the municipal Youth Union’s staff members have helped 213 juvenile delinquents ‘turn over a new leaf’ by making a positive change to their characters and encouraging them to confidently reintegrate into the community. 

In particular, pieces of useful advices and encouragement have also been given to young drug-addicts to undergo rehabilitation programmes.

As tasks for the ongoing 2017 - 2021 period, Youth Union members will continue implementing their patriotic emulation movements in a bid to accelerate the city’s progress in the current context of deeper global integration.

According to Mr Nguyen Duy Minh, the Deputy Secretary of the municipal Youth Union, the ‘Start-up Innovations’ programme for his organisation’s members will take place in the coming months.

In a similar vein, a large number of voluntary prorammes and others involved in upholding the spirit of innovation amongst young inhabitants will be implemnted in the coming years.
