Hey there, young changemakers! 🌟 Over 48,000 passionate volunteers from the Chinese mainland have set off this July to serve in regions like Xinjiang, Xizang, and Guizhou under the "Go West" program run by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China. 💼
Launched back in 2003, this initiative has welcomed more than 590,000 college graduates to over 2,000 county-level areas. These volunteers will spend one to three years bringing fresh ideas to rural education, construction projects, community healthcare, and grassroots governance. 📚🛠️🏥
Their mission? To inject vitality, innovation, and the spirit of youth into local communities—showing that age is no barrier to making a real difference. 🤝
Plus, as part of the "Act To Action" campaign, CGTN is calling on youth from all APEC economies to share their stories and ideas on global governance. It’s proof that when young voices unite, the world listens. 🌍✨
