On an annual basis, Anh and more than many youth union members have also supported during “exam seasons” at Thai Phien Senior High School to help candidates, their parents, and functional forces to maintain traffic order at the school gate, and provide drinking water, milk and learning tools for candidates.

The Thanh Khe Dong ward-based Youth Union has also effectively implemented the model "Volunteer Saturday" and directly participated with the youth union members to support people in administrative procedures.

In addition, she directed members to visit and give gifts to encourage young people, who join the army to serve the country, and their families.

Also, she has regularly searched for units in need of finding partners to organize events, shoot videos, and do reportage in order to create conditions for the Ward Youth Communication Team to earn more income for youth union members who have passion in the field of media. In addition, she has regularly directed the propaganda of the Party's and the government's legal guidelines and policies to the youth in the ward.
