Li Zhe, a volunteer of Jiangsu University Student Volunteer Service Rural Revitalization Plan (the former "Northern Jiangsu Plan") and a graduate of China University of Mining and Technology, still remembers the day when he arrived in Suining at the beginning of this summer. After the orientation meeting, Liu Yunan, secretary of the Youth League Committee of Liji Town, Suining County, enthusiastically helped him carry his luggage onto the car and drove him back to the town, saying, "Welcome to Liji Town" Let Li Zhe feel warm.
As a key service place of the Jiangsu University Students Volunteer Service Rural Revitalization Plan in Xuzhou, in order to help volunteers better work and live in villages and towns, the functional departments of Liji Town, Suining County, have made joint efforts to take multiple measures to create a good environment for volunteers coming to the town to serve, so that they can live a secure life, grow in work, and have a bright future.
"For the volunteers who come to the town, we will add 800 yuan of living allowance to each person on the basis of various subsidies uniformly distributed by the province, city and county, and provide free board and lodging as well as the same trade union benefits as the town staff to provide guarantee for the volunteers' clothing, food, housing and transportation," Liu Yunan said.
"I hope that volunteers can feel the warmth of home just like they are at home here." Cao Mengdi, deputy secretary of the Communist Youth League of Suining County, said, "Since the reform of the grass-roots organizations of the Communist Youth League in the county, the Communist Youth League of Suining County has launched the local version of the rural revitalization plan," Suiju Plan ", and selected outstanding volunteers to serve as the town (street) league construction liaison. At the same time, in order to better serve everyone, we specially arranged to invite all volunteers in the county to participate in the theme group day activities on the last Friday of each month to learn and share together; It will also organize various activities, such as propaganda competitions, orientation meetings and farewell meetings, to enrich everyone's spare time life. "
In addition to life service guarantee, Liji Town also actively creates conditions to empower volunteers to grow at the grass-roots level. On the one hand, special staff will be arranged to give daily work guidance to volunteers, and professionals will be invited to offer various training courses for volunteers, such as official document writing skills, to help them master grass-roots work skills as soon as possible.
"To be honest, when I first came to town, I was a 'little white' in the workplace who could not even write official documents." Recalling his service experience, Xia Xue, a volunteer of the 2021 "Subei Plan", said, "The staff taught me hand in hand, which helped me learn a lot of practical skills and understand the importance of grass-roots work, which is a very valuable memory for me."
On the other hand, the volunteers of the regular organization went to the field and the practice station of rural revitalization to have a deep understanding of the basic situation of the township; At the same time, we should break down departmental and regional barriers and coordinate volunteers to practice at various grass-roots posts. "We strive to build a platform for volunteers to participate in the whole process of publicity, volunteer services, cultural and health creation in the town, so as to help them get exercise, harvest and grow at the grass-roots level in the township." Gao Sheng, the organization member of Liji Town, said.
In addition, after the expiration of volunteer service, the town will identify their service, issue qualification certificates, count them into grass-roots work experience, and continuously calculate the length of service, so that volunteers can apply for civil service posts with relevant policies. Every year, the recruitment and examination posts in Liji Town will also be properly tilted to grassroots service providers, attracting more volunteers to serve in the town to stay.
"Whether in life or personal growth, the town has given us volunteers a lot of support and help, and also let us have a deeper understanding of grass-roots work." After working in Liji Town for a period of time, Li Zhe felt deeply, "I have gained a lot in my days here, and also strengthened my determination to root in the grassroots and serve the grassroots. It's worth dedicating the best youth in life to the grassroots! " (Reporter Wang Xiaoyun)
