Article 4 of Circular 11/2011/TT-BNV stipulates the procedures and application for establishing a provincial Youth Volunteers organization in Vietnam as follows:

1. The provincial Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, which has the need to establish a Youth Volunteers organization, shall prepare one set of documents as prescribed in Article 5 of this Circular and send it directly to the Department of Home Affairs for submission to the Provincial People's Committee for approval.

2. Within 15 working days from the date of receiving a complete and valid dossier, the Department of Home Affairs shall be responsible for reviewing and submitting to the Provincial People's Committee for written approval of the establishment of the Youth Volunteers organization. In case of disapproval, the reply must be made in writing clearly stating the reason.

During the process of verifying the dossier for the establishment of the Youth Volunteers organization, the Department of Home Affairs has the right to request the provincial Youth Union to provide relevant information and documents or to invite representatives of provincial departments and authorities as well as scientists to discuss and give professional opinions.

3. Based on the approval of the Provincial People's Committee, the provincial Youth Union shall issue a decision to establish the Youth Volunteers organization.

For the establishment of Centers, Schools for Social Labor Education, after obtaining the approval of the Provincial People’s Committee, the process and procedures for establishment shall be implemented according to the regulations of law in the specialized field of operation.

Note:  The establishment of the Youth Volunteers organization must be based on the requirements for performing the tasks specified in Article 4 of Decree 12/2011/ND-CP for a period of 24 months or more.

Additionally, the Youth Volunteers organization shall only be established when specific goals, functions, and tasks are clearly defined and do not overlap with existing Youth Volunteers organizations operating at the provincial administrative level. The scale and type of organization must be appropriate to the assigned functions and tasks. For Youth Volunteers organizations established by the Central Youth Union with operational scope in areas already having provincial Youth Volunteers organizations, coordination and agreement with local authorities must be ensured to avoid overlapping functions and tasks with previously established Youth Volunteers organizations in Vietnam.

More details can be found in Circular 11/2011/TT-BNV, which comes into effect in Vietnam from November 01, 2011.
