According to National Youth Commission Minister Chen Yi-Chen:The National Youth Commission needs to "market" the government's policies, so that young people realize that someone is making a serious ef

Today’s young people are generally faced with the problems of high unemployment and increasing impoverishment. Given that today’s young people will have a major role to play in supporting society as a whole in the future, the constantly changing competitive environment of today makes the challenges facing the National Youth Commission that much harder to overcome. National Youth Commission Minister Chen Yi-Chen explains that the Commission’s responsibilities include respecting young people’s autonomy, helping young people who are members of disadvantaged groups, and helping young people with career planning, etc. She says that, currently, the most pressing issue for the Commission is the growing impoverishment of young people. This is not a problem that any one government agency can solve on its own; the National Youth Commission’s responsibility here is to undertake the “frontline” work. So what does this “frontline” work involve? It involves providing young people with vocational training before they begin work. By providing opportunities to take part in work/study programs, internships and work experience programs, the Commission is helping to overcome the obstacles that make it hard for young people to find work.
現代的青年普遍遭遇到高失業率及貧窮化的問題,由於青年是未來社會的中堅,面對詭譎多變的競爭環境,青輔會的工作挑戰更大。行政院青年輔導委員會陳以真表示,青輔會的任務包括尊重青年的主體性、關懷弱勢族群及協助青年職涯規畫等。她說,目前急迫的問題是「青年貧窮化」,此一問題無法由單一部會來解決,青輔會的責任是做好前端工作。何謂前端工作?就是職前訓練培訓,可以透過提供工讀、實習、體驗的機會,來協助降低青年就業的困難與挫折。

Besides work/study programs and internships, the National Youth Commission is also always encouraging young people to undertake voluntary work. Currently, the Commission has around a dozen volunteering centers through Taiwan, and seven “Volunteer Colleges,” which help to provide opportunities to participate in a wide range of voluntary service areas. Through the use of activities such as volunteer training camps, youth volunteer forums, etc., the Commission encourages young people to engage in voluntary work. In this way, besides making a contribution to society, young people can also benefit from the planning, leadership and resource coordination skills that they will develop through volunteering.
除了工讀、實習外,青輔會也不斷地鼓勵青年加入志工服務,目前青輔會在全台有10多個志工中心、有7所志工大學,能夠捲動各式各樣的志工服務,透過志工培訓營、青年志工論壇等活動,鼓勵青年投入社會志工活動,不僅貢獻一己之力,也能夠從志工的體驗活動中,累積企畫、領導、整合資源等能力。
