The Yozgat branch of Yeşilay ranked first among 120 branches.

The Yozgat branch of Yeşilay, the first institution that comes to mind in the fight against addiction, became the first among 120 branches.

The Yeşilay Yozgat branch was awarded the ‘Branch with the Most Volunteer Activities’ for its activities in October. Yeşilay Yozgat engaged in volunteer activities in various areas such as ‘My Club is Yeşilay, Yeşilay Activity Promotion, environmental cleaning, tree planting, volunteer meetings, volunteer orientation, introducing volunteering in KYK dormitories, Turkey’s Adult Education for Combating Addiction, Turkey’s Peer Education for Combating Addiction, and Yeşilay ambassadors.’

Founded on July 18, 2014, the Yeşilay Yozgat branch achieved its goal of securing first place in October under the presidency of Abdullah Ceylan. The association conducted field studies with its volunteer team composed of university students, set up stands in schools, and informed local tradespeople. Volunteers, who started with the idea that tradespeople could reach citizens more easily, reached out to children, parents, and institutions for the promotion of the Yeşilay Counseling Center. Yeşilay ambassadors distributed kits such as brochures, door hangers, and coasters bearing the institution’s logo to increase the visibility of Yeşilay.

University students carried out encouraging activities aimed at elementary school-age children, explaining how they could become Yeşilay volunteers when they grow up. Awareness activities were conducted.

University volunteers who participated in peer education held in major cities like Istanbul and Ankara were able to communicate more easily with their friends when they returned to their universities after the training.

Among the Young Yeşilay Clubs, the Young Yeşilay Club at Bozok University in Yozgat became the club that conducted the most volunteer activities in October. While enjoying the taste of being the October winner, the volunteers also drew attention to the destruction that harmful habits can leave in human life.
