Recruitment of Volunteer 'Solitary Death Prevention Officers' in Seo-gu, Gwangju

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Daeseok) announced on the 15th that it will recruit 'Gogoksa Prevention Volunteers' (volunteers) until the 11th of next month.

The total number of recruits is 108 (6 per neighborhood), and any Seo-gu resident interested in welfare can apply.

The selected Gogoksa Prevention Volunteers will visit at-risk households in the district, such as those excluded from basic living security benefits, households with electricity or gas cutoffs, and those with long-term arrears in social insurance fees, to investigate welfare needs and connect them with welfare resources within the local community.

Gogoksa Prevention Volunteers will receive a monthly Gwangju Sangsaeng Card (worth 30,000 won) and be granted volunteer hours, among other benefits.

An official from the Seo-gu Welfare Policy Division said, "Although everyone's livelihood is threatened due to COVID-19, we will do our best to create a warmer and safer Seo-gu through Gogoksa prevention activities," and added, "We hope many people will apply to become Gogoksa Prevention Volunteers."

Meanwhile, Seo-gu was selected in March for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's public contest and is promoting the Gogoksa prevention project titled 'People are Hope, Neighbors are Happiness.'

From next month, when the placement of Gogoksa Prevention Volunteers is completed, until the end of the year, they plan to actively conduct welfare blind spot discovery activities targeting high-risk single-person households in the district.
