BFSU has actively responded to the call of sponsoring departments, recruited eligible volunteers, and organized online training sessions, mobilization meetings and field visits. The university also communicated with its logistics department, academic affairs office and graduate school for food and curriculum coordination, allowing volunteers to work with more convenience.

BFSU volunteers mainly served the operation and coordination of theme exhibitions in the four sectors of culture and tourism, education, engineering and telecommunications at the Shougang Park. They offered guidance, consultation and explanation to visitors with a total service time of more than 3,300 hours.

They also took an active part in activities organized by the CPC committee and CYL committee of the Volunteer Family, and were acclaimed by the CIFTIS volunteer group for their dedicated attitude, language proficiency and hard work.
