Di An city has over time implemented various programs, models, and effective ways of promoting unity and gathering young workers. This has significantly contributed to caring for young migrant workers in the area.
Life care
Every afternoon, the playground in Tan A neighborhood, Tan Dong Hiep ward, always attracts many children. The playground is located near many dormitories to serve children who are the offspring of migrant workers coming from rural areas to play. This playground model was implemented by the Youth Union of Di An, installing 7 facilities in An Binh, Tan Dong Hiep, Tan Binh, Binh Thang, Di An, and Dong Hoa wards. In addition, the Youth Union directs the Youth bases to maintain and renovate the existing playgrounds throughout the city to serve the children in the residential areas for entertainment.

Not only that, the underprivileged children living in boarding houses also participate in a love class organized by the Youth Union of the wards. In Miếu Bà ấp Thượng, Châu Thới neighborhood, Bình An ward, there has been a love class maintained for over 10 years. The students are the children of migrant workers from rural areas who are facing difficulties and therefore do not have the means to attend school. Through the charitable classes, the Youth Union of the wards has maintained educational activities, caring with a loving heart, helping the children have a place to study.
