20 years of taking on difficult tasks on my own
In 2004, the Central Party Secretariat and the Government chose March every year, the month with the founding day of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (March 26) as Youth Month.
Speaking at the launching ceremony, Mr. Bui Quang Huy - First Secretary of the Central Youth Union - said that in the 20-year journey, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union at all levels has persistently organized many meaningful activities with diverse content and forms, innovated every year, suitable to practical requirements, attracting hundreds of millions of union members and young people to participate.
Mr. Huy shared that the meaning of Youth Month does not stop at the results of implementing hundreds of thousands of youth projects and tasks, but more than that, Youth Month becomes a good and effective method in directing the work of the Youth Union.

It is a form of calling on members of many groups to participate in important tasks of localities and units, and is the focus of work to solve many difficult problems and new fields in difficult areas, remote areas, etc.
"Youth Month has truly become a vivid practical environment for young people to promote their pioneering role, volunteering, and creativity in participating in contributing to the completion of political tasks and socio-economic development in localities and units," said Mr. Huy.
Mr. Huy emphasized that this year's Youth Month is not beyond the good meaning that has been built over the past 20 years.
In 2024, the Central Secretariat of the Youth Union chose the theme of Youth Month as "Youth volunteers for community life" to demonstrate the determination, sense of responsibility, and taking on difficult tasks that require sacrifice of time, materials, and efforts of union members and young people nationwide to create new values and make positive and specific contributions to the community and society.
Forever 20 Youth Month

On behalf of the Party and State leaders, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue wished the Central Youth Union and all levels of Youth Union, Youth Union members, and young people nationwide an exciting, safe, practical, and highly effective Youth Month with many creative, engaging, and attractive activities for young people.
Emphasizing that the annual Youth Month is a very meaningful activity, starting every new spring, the season of youth; an initiative drawn from the vivid reality of the youth movement and the work of the Youth Union, Mr. Hue said that Party committees, authorities at all levels and especially the Youth Union chapters at all levels need to continue to have a deeper awareness of the role and position of youth.
"Youth is a great social force, the backbone of the country, the vanguard force in building and defending the Fatherland, one of the decisive factors in the success or failure of the cause of industrialization, modernization, international integration, and building socialism," said Mr. Hue.
He recalled that at the recent 12th National Youth Union Congress, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong sent his warm feelings and profound message to the young generation of the whole country: Just as trees only sprout in the spring, people who want to create a career that is useful for themselves and for society must also start from a young age.
Borrowing the words of poet To Huu: " Twenty years old, the heart is still full of blood / Twenty years old, the soul is spinning in the storm / The tendons are tight and the flesh is tight / A passionate life promises so many flowers ", Mr. Hue hopes and wishes that Vietnamese Youth Month always has the spirit of "forever 20 years old".
