We, representatives of seven public organizations, members of the Coordination Council of Youth Public Organizations of Volyn "Coalition of Truth," created on February 22, 2005, declare our readiness to work toward the development of the Volyn region.
To this end, we will actively join the initiatives of the new government concerning youth policy, while at the same time critically evaluating them, and work on the creation of comprehensive programs and proposals aimed at solving youth problems.
We address you with the initiative of a public discussion of the principles of youth policy in the region through round tables, public hearings, expert surveys, and meetings with representatives of the public of Volyn. For our part, we commit to taking an active part in organizing and holding such events. In our opinion, evidence of qualitative transformations in state youth policy must be a change of officials who manage the relevant state institutions. We believe that the principle "new government – new people" declared by President V. Yushchenko must apply to all levels. Therefore, we call on you, when appointing the new head of the Department for Family and Youth Affairs of the Volyn Regional State Administration, to adhere to the principles of transparency and openness, taking into account the opinion of the region's public organizations.
In particular, we propose that you, before the final appointment to this important position, hold an open meeting of representatives of the region's public organizations with the candidate for the position of head of the Department for Family and Youth Affairs of the Volyn Regional State Administration.
We hope that these proposals will be carefully considered by you and taken into account in further work, and will help implement the President's Program in Volyn.
