Yuan Ze University Collaborated with the Taoyuan City Youth Affairs Bureau to Promote an International Volunteer Program, Showcasing the Cross-Border Service Capabilities of Youth.

Yuan Ze University Collaborated with the Taoyuan City Government Youth Affairs Bureau to launch the "2025 International Volunteer Program" June 12.

  As the main partner, Yuan Ze University continued to deepen cooperation with the Youth Affairs Bureau, organizing volunteer teams "Northern Thailand Group" and "Malaysia Group," leading students to Thailand and Malaysia to participate in overseas service actions, showcasing youth's mobility and influence in the international arena.

The launch press conference officially announced the establishment of the "Taoyuan Youth International Volunteer Team." As one of the first participating units, Yuan Ze University leveraged its academic and educational resources to continuously promote in-depth and impactful international volunteer actions. Dean of Student Affairs, Yu-Chih Liu, stated that through the international volunteer program, students could not only respond to local needs but also practice cross-cultural communication, international understanding, and self-growth during the service process, making it the most precious learning experience outside the classroom.

This "Taoyuan Youth International Volunteer Team" recruitment targets youth aged 18 to 45 who are registered, studying, or working in Taoyuan City, breaking the previous framework limited to schools or civil organizations, allowing youth to participate individually. After selection, the selected candidates will go to Thailand and Malaysia this summer to perform volunteer tasks and receive a reward of NT$30,000 per person from the Youth Affairs Bureau.

Yuan Ze University continued its years of international volunteer experience this year, actively participating in the Youth Affairs Bureau's integrated plan. In addition to student groups participating, faculty members also served as instructors, assisting students in planning course content, cultural integration strategies, and communication modes with service targets, enhancing service quality and educational significance.
Youth Affairs Bureau Director Chia-Ling Hou pointed out that the establishment of the "Taoyuan Youth International Volunteer Team" is an important milestone for Taoyuan youth to step into the international arena. The city government is pleased to cooperate with Yuan Ze University and other units, hoping that through this platform, more outstanding youth will turn their passion into action and shine on the international stage.

In this plan, Yuan Ze students will engage in various fields such as information education, language teaching, cultural exchange, sustainability issues, and image recording, showcasing their respective expertise and responding to local needs through teamwork.
Through this cooperation, Yuan Ze University once again demonstrated the key role of higher education in promoting youth public participation and international connections. In the future, it will continue to deepen cooperation with government departments and international communities, cultivating young talents with global vision and practical ability, expanding the influence of Taiwanese youth on the world stage.
