BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 21. Volunteer activities encourage the youth's personal development and future career opportunities by enhancing leadership and organizational skills, Head of the Youth Policy and Sports Department at the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan Hamid Nasibov said at the IV Reporting-Election Conference of the Union of Volunteer Organizations of Azerbaijan (UVOA) in Baku today, Trend reports.
Nasibov noted that the dedication and competence demonstrated by volunteers have been reflected both nationally and internationally.
"The activities carried out once again prove the significant contribution of youth and volunteer organizations to societal development. These initiatives go beyond fulfilling social responsibilities; they also strengthen the patriotic spirit of youth and deepen their understanding of civic duty.
Volunteers play a crucial role in society, actively participating in social and humanitarian projects across various sectors, thereby enhancing our country's international reputation. Such activities also positively impact the personal development and future career opportunities of young people, improving their leadership qualities and organizational skills.
Volunteers undertook large-scale activities outside Azerbaijan for the first time in response to President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev's call, mobilizing quickly to assist those affected by the earthquake in Türkiye. This volunteer movement played an important role in organizing aid for our brotherly Türkiye, where the volunteers fulfilled their tasks admirably.
The 'Return' volunteer program, launched to facilitate resettlement in liberated territories, has also yielded significant results and played a vital role in the region's recovery and reconstruction process. Within this program, youth provided support to families returning to the liberated lands.
This initiative positively influences the acceleration of projects in the liberated territories, as well as their economic and social development," he added.
To note, the IV Reporting-Election Conference of the UVOA has been held at the Baku Convention Center.
The event has gathered leaders of the UVOA member organizations, media representatives, several official guests, and volunteers.
