Slogan: “Konnect & Empower Youth”

Free Hugs Vietnam (FHV) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing youth members with the indispensable soft skills and social networks for their long-term benefits with community-oriented activities and training programs in collaboration with other foreign and national organizations.

A traditional annual event of FHV is the Free Hugs Campaign, run in major cities at a national level for the purpose of encouraging people to display their love, affection, and care towards one another via the simple token of “free”, “undesigned” hugs – FREE HUGS. Besides, FHV is also responsible for many other voluntary activities in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh city. As the foundation stone of FHV has always been that of human essentials, we strive to bring about opportunities for members to develop such important soft skills as teamwork, communication, presentation, and leadership & management; which will definitely come in handy for their growth and success in life and contribute to the surrounding community.
