Volyn: Orange youth organized and elected leadership
A year ago, Volyn students first came out to the Maidan to support People's President Viktor Yushchenko and defend their right to the Truth. Symbolically, it was on November 23 of this year that the Founding Conference of the Volyn Regional Organization "Youth Union Our Ukraine" took place in Lutsk.
About 100 young people from across the region gathered to found a new organization, elect governing bodies, and discuss priorities for activities in the near future. Mykola Buliha, head of the executive committee of the Volyn Regional Organization "People's Union Our Ukraine," and Vladyslav Stemkovskyi, head of the Center for Youth Public Organizations "Our Cause," came to greet the conference participants.
The governing bodies were formed from 10 activists of youth organizations who joined the organization's Council, along with the newly elected Head of the organization, Natalia Firko. In Volyn, Ms. Natalia is known as the former head of the environmental organization "Green Wave," a civic and political figure, and a member of the Council of the regional organization "People's Union Our Ukraine."
The deputies of the Head of the "Youth Union Our Ukraine" became Serhiy Adamchuk and Andriy Bokoch.
The Founding Conference continued with a theatrical event on the Maidan in Lutsk, where a tent camp was set up, and hot tea and sandwiches were distributed, just as during the revolution. Toward evening, a youth rally was held dedicated to the creation of the Volyn Regional Organization of the Youth Union Our Ukraine and the anniversary of the revolution, in which leaders of youth organizations supporting the party of the People's President took part.
Within a month, it is planned to hold founding meetings of all district organizations of the "Youth Union Our Ukraine."
