The volunteer service project "Panda Man Volunteer Service Station": the Support Platform for College Students' Refined Volunteer Service to Help Community Governance applied by Chengdu University (CDU) won the bronze award in the competition.
According to the data, a total of 41 provincial-level competition units organized more than 14,000 volunteer service projects across the country to participate in this competition, and 1,199 projects were shortlisted for the national competition. The projects cover 13 fields, including rural revitalization, environmental protection, civilized practice, care for children and adolescents, service for the elderly, disability assistance, health, emergency rescue and pandemic prevention and control, community governance and neighborhood support, water conservation and protection, cultural communication and tourism services, legal services and anti-drug education.
Based on the current situation of community volunteer service organized and carried out by universities, the project, "Panda Man Volunteer Service Station": the Support Platform for College Students' Refined Volunteer Service to Help Community Governance, has built a support platform of "volunteering and professional ability" construction on the wide dissemination foundation of "Panda Man" IP, integrating the "refined" module experience in the early stage of the project. The project has formed "online fine communication and offline accompanying supervision" through the "online and offline" dual-line empowerment by the standardized operation manual and supervision guide for volunteer service. The project has built an open and shared project library online and introduced general courses of volunteer service online. Meanwhile, it has provided accompanying supervision support and set up regular sharing and evaluation meetings offline. In terms of its operation, the project has adopted the "2+1" interaction mode of the youth volunteer association of the university and the "1:1" project follow-up mechanism, as well as the project storage mechanism on the online platform and the normal empowerment mechanism of follow-up colleges and universities to jointly help the implementation of service projects. In terms of its management, the project has strictly recruited and selected volunteers based on the certification and registration of "Volunteer Sichuan" and other platforms. A professional volunteer management mechanism has been introduced, with points redemption and the university's "Second Classroom" transcript as incentives, to improve the professional level of volunteer services and the whole process management of the "research-study-use-guidance" of the project. At present, the project has forged partnerships with five universities to build an open, inclusive and shared professional capability support platform to contribute to the development of volunteer services in universities.
The project is promoted in the Xihe Sub-district.
For years, CDU has been focusing on the volunteer service of university students,promoting the practice and education of volunteer servicein terms of talent training, and taking young volunteers' actions as a brand to guide the majority of young people to serve and contribute to the society. A number of outstanding public welfare student associations and projects of CDU have emerged. The brand of our university volunteer service projects and a unique public welfare culture have also been formed. Taking this competition as an opportunity, CDU will promote learning, evaluation and construction through the competition and continuously strengthen the awareness of responsibility, rules and dedication of our young volunteers, thus effectively improving the scientific, professional and institutionalized level of our volunteer service projects. By creating more high-quality volunteer projects, we will further carry forward the volunteer spirit of "dedication, friendship, mutual assistance,and progress", empowering more young volunteers to contribute to the active practice of building a modern country in all aspects.
