ENHANCING THE QUALITY AND SCALE OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERING
ACTIVITIES

Implementing one of the key orientations of UEH - training global citizens who act for sustainable
development, the volunteer programs, campaigns, and student support activities over the past
year have been effectively and practically carried out by the UEH Youth Union and Student
Association, contributing to the objectives of 1 (poverty eradication), 2 (zero hunger), 7 (clean
energy), and 3 (good health and quality of life).

The UEH Youth Union and Student Association have launched a series of programs to care for and
support students throughout 2024. Twenty scholarships, valued at over 80 million VND, have
been awarded to UEH students who have excelled in their studies and personal development. In
addition, activities to care for and support students, including the "Back to School” campaign, a
series of activities aimed at enhancing soft skills and career skills for students across different
majors, as well as initiatives dedicated to the physical and mental well-being of students, have also
been invested in and implemented over the past year.

In response to the theme of youth union work and the
movement for young people in 2024, "The Year of
Volunteer Youth," the 16th Spring Volunteer Campaign
- 2024, implemented by the UEH Youth Union -
Association, is being prioritized in the provinces of Tay
Ninh, Binh Thuan, and Ho Chi Minh City, with a record
number of 2,000 volunteers coming from 35 volunteer
teams creating remarkably significant programs and

leaving a mark. Not only does it provide a training
environment for students' character development, but
the campaign also brings extremely practical values to
the community, with a total funding amount exceeding
950 million VND, awarding 232 scholarships to
underprivileged students in the areas, providing more
than 170 gifts to families of policy beneficiaries and
border guards; helping many homeless people and
elderly individuals living alone in the city.
