Four horizontals: First, relying on public cultural service institutions within the municipal public library, mass art museum, museum and other systems to set up municipal cultural volunteer service centers, and regularly organize public welfare cultural service activities to provide basic guarantee for cultural volunteers to carry out cultural volunteer services. The second is to establish a social municipal cultural volunteer service center by means of leasing, co-construction and cooperation, equipped with basic supporting facilities and equipment, to meet the needs of the vast number of cultural volunteers to spontaneously carry out various cultural activities such as training, exhibition and rehearsal, so as to make it a powerful supplement to the existing public cultural service institutions. Third, relying on urban shopping malls, teahouses, bars, schools run by social forces, cultural enterprises and other places, we will comprehensively establish multi-functional and widely distributed cultural volunteer homes, and add public cultural service projects such as national reading service points, library lending stations, and literary and art training rehearsal halls to provide free or preferential services for cultural volunteers’ travel, leisure, consumption, reading, communication and training, and continuously enhance their sense of honor and centripetal force.
