He completed Plast youth training in the 37th kurin named after Mykola Mikhnovskyi (in recent months, two more soldiers from this kurin have died due to this war with Moscow invaders). A participant in many Plast camps and exercises, particularly in Kholodnyi Yar. Instructor and osavul (bunchuzhny) at one of the most popular youth camps of Plast: Legion - military-patriotic education.

He underwent almost all possible training for Plast youth educators, including the interregional camp Lisova School.
