Red culture is a valuable spiritual asset of the Party and the country. Its transmission through youth volunteer services can significantly enhance the sense of shared destiny and collective honor among people of all ethnic groups, thereby innovating service pathways to strengthen the sense of community for the Chinese nation. This study, grounded in the perspective of strengthening the sense of community for the Chinese nation, aims to clarify the inherent value of youth volunteer services promoting red culture and to explore pathways for leveraging these services to reinforce this sense of unity. Through questionnaire surveys and field interviews, the research reveals that participation in red culture activities has markedly strengthened the "Five Identities" among youth in Guangxi. However, challenges remain, including the need to optimize the policy environment for youth volunteer services, improve activity mechanisms, and enhance the enthusiasm and professional competence of youth volunteers. In response, the study proposes refining practical pathways in the context of the new era by strengthening ideological guidance, enhancing cultural identity, broadening participation channels, and reinforcing institutional support. These recommendations aim to provide theoretical and practical insights for leveraging youth volunteer services in the transmission of red culture to fortify the sense of community for the Chinese nation.
