(三)在基层一线经受磨砺
新时代中国青年把基层作为最好的课堂，把实践作为最好的老师，将个人奋斗的“小目标”融入党和国家事业的“大蓝图”，将自己对中国梦的追求化作一件件身边实事，在磨砺中长才干、壮筋骨。
在农村为乡亲们排忧解难，在社区为邻里们倾心服务，在边疆为祖国巡逻戍边……越来越多的青年深入基层、投身现代化建设最需要的地方，在复杂艰苦环境中成就人生。2021年，中共中央、国务院表彰的1981名全国脱贫攻坚先进个人和1501个先进集体中，就有许多青年先进典型。1800多名同志将生命定格在了脱贫攻坚征程上，其中很多是年轻的面孔。在乡村振兴战略实施中，青年领办专业合作社、推广现代农业科技、壮大农村新产业新业态，带头移风易俗、改善农村人居环境、倡导文明乡风，带动农民增收致富，助力农村焕发新貌。截至2021年，47万名“三支一扶”人员参加基层支教、支农、支医和帮扶乡村振兴(扶贫)，数百万青年学生参与“三下乡”社会实践活动，为脱贫攻坚和乡村振兴提供新助力。
(四)在创新创业中走在前列
新时代中国青年富有想象力和创造力，思想解放、开拓进取，勇于参与日益激烈的国际竞争，成为创新创业的有生力量。
受益于党和国家的好政策，在经济、社会、科技、文化等领域，青年以聪明才智贡献国家、服务人民，奋力走在创新创业创优的前列。在国家创新驱动发展战略的引领和“揭榜挂帅”、“赛马”等制度的激励推动下，一批具有国际竞争力的青年科技人才脱颖而出，在“天宫”、“蛟龙”、“天眼”、“悟空”、“墨子”、“天问”、“嫦娥”等重大科技攻关任务中担重任、挑大梁，北斗卫星团队核心人员平均年龄36岁，量子科学团队平均年龄35岁，中国天眼FAST研发团队平均年龄仅30岁。在工程技术创新一线，每年超过300万名理工科高校毕业生走出校门，为中国工程师队伍提供源源不断的有生力量，他们用扎实的学识、过硬的技术，持续创造难得的“工程师红利”，有力提升了中国的发展动力和国际竞争力。在国家持续出台创业扶持政策的大背景下，青年积极投身大众创业、万众创新热潮，踊跃参加“创青春”中国青年创新创业大赛、“中国国际互联网+”大学生创新创业大赛等创业交流展示活动，用智慧才干开创自己的事业。2014年以来，在新登记注册的市场主体中，大学生创业者超过500万人。在信息技术服务业、文化体育娱乐业、科技应用服务业等以创新创意为关键竞争力的行业中，青年占比均超过50%，一大批由青年领衔的“独角兽企业”、“瞪羚企业”喷涌而出。中国青年自觉将人生追求同国家发展进步紧密结合起来，在创新创业中展现才华、服务社会。
(五)在社会文明建设中引风气之先
新时代中国青年顺应社会发展潮流，适应国家治理体系和治理能力现代化要求，在社会文明建设中引领时代新风，争当正能量的倡导者、新风尚的践行者。
无论在城镇还是乡村、企业还是学校，青年都自觉把正确的道德认知、自觉的道德养成、积极的道德实践紧密结合起来，带头倡导向上向善社会风气、塑造社会文明新风尚。在城乡社区建设中，越来越多的青年投身社区治理和服务体系建设，主动参加“社区青春行动”，加强实践锻炼、提升服务贡献。在各行各业，青年秉承“敬业、协作、创优、奉献”的理念，踊跃创建“青年文明号”，大力弘扬新时代职业文明，展现新时代职业形象。广大青年运动员弘扬体育道德风尚，以良好的赛风赛纪和文明礼仪，获得竞技成绩和精神文明双丰收。1993年“中国青年志愿者行动”启动以来，志愿服务成为青年参与社会治理、履行社会责任的一面旗帜，成为青年在奉献人民、服务社会中锻炼成长的重要途径。截至2021年底，全国志愿服务信息系统中14岁至35岁的注册志愿者已超过9000万人，他们活跃在社区建设、大型赛事、环境保护、扶贫开发、卫生健康、应急救援、文化传承等各个领域，弘扬“奉献、友爱、互助、进步”的志愿精神，在全社会形成团结互助、平等友爱、共同前进的新风尚。中国青年志愿者扶贫接力计划研究生支教团、大学生志愿服务“西部计划”连续18年派遣41万余名研究生、大学毕业生，到中西部2100多个县(市区旗)开展扶贫支教、卫生医疗等志愿服务。青年始终是大型赛会志愿服务的主体力量，给千家万户乃至全世界留下深刻印象。
四、新时代中国青年胸怀世界、展现担当
青年是国家的未来，也是世界的未来。新时代中国青年既有家国情怀，也有人类关怀，秉承中华文化崇尚的四海一家、天下为公理念，积极学习借鉴各国有益经验和文明成果，与世界各国青年共同推动构建人类命运共同体，共同弘扬和平、发展、公平、正义、民主、自由的全人类共同价值，携手创造人类更加美好的未来。
(一)更加开放自信地融入世界
随着中国对外开放的大门越开越大，新时代中国青年以前所未有的深度和广度认识世界、融入世界，在对外交流合作中更加理性包容、自信自强。
“走出去”的道路越来越宽。通过留学、务工、旅游、考察等方式，中国青年以极大的热情和包容的心态，全方位、深层次了解世界、融入世界、拥抱世界，学习借鉴其他国家的有益经验和文明成果。出国留学是中国青年了解世界的重要途径。1978年，中国选派出国留学人员仅800余名；2019年，超过70万人出国深造，40多年来各类出国留学人员累计超过650万人；1978年回国留学人员仅248人，2019年超过58万人学成回国，40多年来回国留学人员累计达420余万人。与此同时，大批中国青年通过旅游、考察、商务、劳务等方式走出国门、感知世界，2019年国内居民出境达1.7亿人次，中国青年认识世界的渠道更加广阔、国际视野不断拓展。
沟通合作的“朋友圈”越来越大。在各种国际舞台上，中国青年讲述中国故事、参与全球青年事务治理，在双多边框架下积极交流互动、促进合作共赢。中国青年参与双边交流机制更加广泛深入，与各有关国家青年走得越来越近、友谊越来越深。在“中国青年全球伙伴行动”框架下，中国与100多个国际组织及外国政府青年机构、政党和非政府青年组织建立交流合作关系。在中俄、中美、中欧、中印、中日等中外人文交流机制框架下，中国青年在教育、科学、文化、艺术、体育、媒体等领域对外互动合作活跃。中国青年不仅与周边国家和广大发展中国家青年伙伴开展亮点纷呈的人文交流，还通过创新创业、经贸往来、技术交流等方式实现互惠互利。中国青年更加主动地加入国际组织、参加国际会议、参与全球治理，树立了更加亮丽的国际形象。在联合国和其他国际组织中，数百名中国青年为世界和平与发展事业付出辛劳、作出贡献；在联合国青年论坛、联合国教科文组织青年会议和相关多边机制框架下，在亚洲青年理事会等国际性青年组织中，中国青年更加自信地发出中国声音、阐述中国观点，成为沟通中外友好的青年使者。
(二)展现构建人类命运共同体的青春担当
新时代中国青年深刻地认识到，每个民族、每个国家的前途命运都紧紧联系在一起，应该风雨同舟、守望相助，努力把共同的地球家园建成一个命运与共的大家庭。
在心与心的交流对话中汇聚青春共识。中国青年积极倡导、努力践行构建人类命运共同体理念，围绕脱贫减贫、气候变化、抗疫合作等主题，征集世界各国青年故事、传播世界各国青年声音、凝聚世界各国青年共识。2020年，在联合国有关机构、世界卫生组织共同举办的应对新冠肺炎疫情网络会议上，中国青年代表向全世界介绍参与抗疫志愿服务的感人故事、分享科学应对疫情的经验做法。在上海合作组织、金砖国家、G20等国际机制青年领域合作文件的制定过程中，中国青年积极贡献智慧、提出主张，为保障世界各国青年的生存权、发展权、受保护权、参与权贡献智慧。在2022年北京冬奥会、冬残奥会上，各国青年运动员和青年志愿者，超越语言的障碍、文化的差异，用笑容播撒温暖、用拥抱传递友谊、用心灵汇聚力量，共同搭建起“一起向未来”的桥梁，以青春特有的方式向全世界传递了构建人类命运共同体的理念。
在手拉手的并肩前行中绘就美好图景。推动构建人类命运共同体，中国青年铭于心，更笃于行。中国青年积极投身“一带一路”建设，践行共商共建共享理念。几十万名海外中资机构青年员工在异国他乡辛勤工作，为当地经济社会发展作出贡献；开展志愿服务、慈善捐赠、文化交流，增进与所在国青年之间的友谊与合作。以青年为主体的国际中文教师志愿者在100多个国家服务，帮助各国青年学习中华文化。“中国青年志愿者海外服务计划”累计派出超过700名青年志愿者，在亚洲、非洲、拉丁美洲的20多个国家，开展医疗卫生、农业技术、土木工程、工业技术、经济管理、社会发展等方面服务。中国军队青年官兵积极参加联合国维和行动，胸怀人间大爱，恪守维和使命责任，秉持人道主义精神，为世界和平与发展注入更多正能量。截至2020年，4万余人次中国军人为和平出征，16名中国军人在维和行动中牺牲、平均年龄不到30岁。中国青年用行动向世人证明，只要世界各国人民同心同向、携手共进，人类命运共同体的前景必将更加美好。
(三)中国青年的全球行动倡议
人类已经进入互联互通的新时代，各国利益休戚相关、命运紧密相连。当今世界面临越来越突出的治理赤字、信任赤字、和平赤字、发展赤字，混乱、撕裂、不公愈演愈烈。百年变局和世纪疫情叠加，给世界经济发展和民生改善带来严重挑战。和平还是战争，光明还是黑暗，人类在进步和倒退的十字路口面临着重要抉择。时代呼唤全世界青年团结一心，加强彼此了解、相互取长补短，用欣赏、互鉴、共享的观点看待世界，携手构建人类命运共同体。为此，中国青年向全世界青年倡议：

中国青年真诚希望世界和平稳定、发展繁荣，真诚希望每个国家和地区都能为青年发展提供良好条件，真诚希望全世界青年能够携起手来，为建设一个持久和平、普遍安全、共同繁荣、开放包容、清洁美丽的世界贡献智慧力量、展现青春担当。
