Druh Stepan is currently visiting the New York City area, and invited local young druzhynnyky to meet and discuss their future plans in the US, as well as to inform them of the future events and goals of the Svitova Uprava and its Referentura Druzhynnykiv.
Druh Stepan gave details about several projects for druzhynnyky over the next couple of years:

Druh Stepan stressed that it is crucial to develop “druzhyny CYM” in individual countries as well as their oseredky and to create an organizational working plan for Druzhynnyky. It is also a main goal for druzhynnyky to have a vision and set goals.
