Living and dedicating their entire youth to the Youth Union, Association and Team, they gradually matured and became a generation of young people who were both red and professional of the Party. Now, when recalling their youth, they all proudly say, “My youth had the Youth Union”!
Thanks to Doan, I grew up!
That is the affirmation of Ms. Hoang Thi Thanh Thuy - Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, former Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union for the period 2019-2021. Ms. Thuy is one of the enthusiastic, dynamic and decisive female youth leaders of the Tay Ninh Provincial Youth Union.
Under her leadership, the Tay Ninh youth at that time were inspired with love for their homeland and national pride, ready to promote their youth, volunteer to fight on the fronts, successfully complete assigned political tasks; and pioneer in participating in movements to build their homeland and country.
Recalling her "fate" with the Youth Union work, which she calls "the Youth Union career", Ms. Thuy shared that, until now, looking back at the journey she has gone through with the "Youth career", she did not think that she had changed and matured so much.
She said that when she was a student at Tay Ninh University of Education, she only wanted to study well and pursue her dream of becoming a teacher. She never thought that she would become a Youth Union officer. But because of her responsibility as a class officer, she always tried to complete the assigned tasks well, taking the lead in participating in Youth Union and Association movements to set an example for her classmates.
Since the day she came into contact with the Youth Union, she had the opportunity to experience and practice changing herself. From a shy girl who was afraid of communication, she became bolder, more open, and gradually trained herself to be more proactive and positive. Thanks to those efforts, Ms. Thuy was honored to be admitted to the Communist Party of Vietnam while still a student.
In 2006, after graduating, she worked at the Provincial Youth Union as an officer of the Provincial Youth Union's Ideology and Culture Department. As a grassroots Youth Union officer, with her experience in Youth Union work, she was successively trusted and assigned different tasks such as: School Youth Union, Provincial Youth Union Office, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union and then Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union.
In 2021, after nearly 15 years of working in the Youth Union and youth movement, she was transferred to a new position as Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation. Currently, after nearly 5 years of moving to the job of an elected representative, she still silently thanks the journey she has gone through with the "Union profession".
She said: “Thanks to the Youth Union, I have matured a lot. The qualities formed in the Youth Union working environment and mass mobilization movements taught me that, to be successful in political work, leaders must always aim to contribute to the people, be close to the people, and respect the people; must know how to listen to the people and resolve their legitimate wishes and concerns; be straightforward in proposals and recommendations; have more confidence and steadfastness when participating in the country's decisions and must constantly learn to improve. These are also the things I always keep in mind to be worthy of the voters' trust in my representatives.”
Now, when she is no longer a young person, she still has a lot of affection, follows and supports the class of Youth Union cadres, members and young people of the province. She is willing to arrange her work to participate in youth activities, educational activities and propaganda for children and teenagers. Through that, she hopes to pass on her enthusiasm to young people, so that they have more motivation to stick with the Youth Union and promote their role in the construction of their homeland.
In her message to young people, Ms. Thuy emphasized: “Youth is still the most beautiful and vibrant age, people often dare to think and do great things. I think that each revolutionary stage sets different tasks for the young generation, but the consistent thing is that the responsibility of building and protecting the country of the youth of any era has never changed.
That great responsibility is placed in a new context - the country must rise up, I hope the country will have "young elites": they have "aspiration to rise up", that will be the guiding goal and the motivation to overcome difficulties and challenges; are people who love to learn and study well, must become global citizens and finally have the courage and skills, integrate into the vivid reality of youth, of the People to practice and mature".
Completely "transformed" when coming to the Youth Union organization
17 years of youth with the Union is a memorable time for Mr. Nguyen Duy Hieu - Deputy Head of the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of Hoa Thanh City Party Committee, former Secretary of Hoa Thanh District Youth Union for the period 2020-2025.
With 17 years of working with the Youth Union and the youth movement, he has gradually improved his knowledge and trained himself through practical experiences. For him, the Youth Union is a school that helps him train and mature every day, from a youth to a Youth Union member, from a Youth Union member to a Youth Union leader of a commune/ward and then to a Youth Union leader of a district/town.
Having worked for 11 years in the Youth Union - Association - Team in Long Thanh Bac ward, when he took on the task of youth leader of Hoa Thanh town, he was not surprised but immediately got into the rhythm of understanding the needs and aspirations of local youth, thereby innovating and creating ways to organize youth activities, helping children have a healthy and beneficial learning and training environment.
Among them, there are many models and solutions recognized by the Provincial Youth Union as new models and good solutions that need to be replicated and spread throughout the province such as: the solution of Cultural and Historical Journey to bring young people closer to indigenous culture; supporting the sick; joining hands for children's smiles, book exchange corner, I love our country's history...
In particular, he also upgraded the annual Mid-Autumn Festival organization to the Mid-Autumn Festival Campaign with many activities to care for and create entertainment conditions for children in the area.
In 2020, when he had just taken on the task of Secretary of the City Youth Union, the Covid-19 epidemic began to break out in the province. As a youth leader, he sacrificed his time with his family, devoted himself to volunteer youth work, and directed and led Hoa Thanh youth to build a youth shock force to participate in the anti-epidemic fronts.
With practical models to help people in difficult times, he and the youth of Hoa Thanh have played a good role in repelling the epidemic and bringing normal life back to the people.
In early 2025, he was transferred to work at the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of the Hoa Thanh City Party Committee as Deputy Head of the Department. With his experience as a Youth Union officer, he has been able to successfully perform his new tasks, especially in propaganda, ideological education, mass mobilization, grasping public opinion well and connecting forces to effectively support the work of information orientation and propaganda.
“The sense of responsibility, dynamism and creativity from the Union environment helps me to be more proactive and flexible in research and consulting,” he said.
Looking back on his journey with the Youth Union and youth movement, he emotionally said: "Those were the years when I was "transformed" into a completely new person."
Mr. Hieu confided that since childhood, he was very shy, timid, and afraid of communication. He came to the "Youth profession" by chance because he had time to participate and gradually became attached to and loved youth work without realizing it. He silently thanked the Youth Union for creating an environment for learning, training, and experience, helping him become a mature, confident, strong, and daring cadre like today.
Telling young people today, he shared: "You feel shy, timid, afraid of crowds; you want to participate in activities that are useful to society; you want to be trained in skills so that when you go out into society, your life and work will be convenient... Come to the Youth Union; contribute your youth to society to show your responsibility to society, your family and yourself. You don't need to be good, just live responsibly, live to give and the rewards you will receive will be worthy."
