On November 27, 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping — who also serves as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission — sent a congratulatory letter to the third congress of the China Volunteer Service Federation. In it, he called for promoting the spirit of volunteering to serve the cause of building a great modern socialist country and achieving national rejuvenation. 🌟
Volunteer groups across the Chinese mainland have been stepping up in areas like poverty relief, environmental projects and community care. Xi emphasized that volunteers embody dedication, solidarity and mutual help — qualities that fuel the country’s push toward national rejuvenation.
He urged young people in particular to embrace volunteerism as a way to contribute to society and grow personally. "Let the spirit of volunteering light up your path," Xi wrote, inspiring a new wave of civic engagement.
Volunteerism isn’t just a local story. From beach clean-ups in Brazil to digital mentoring programs in Argentina, young people worldwide are harnessing this spirit to tackle social challenges 🙌.
Whether you’re joining a local drive or supporting community events online, the volunteer spirit is a universal force that connects us and drives positive change. Will you answer the call? 💪
