Support for Youth Activity Spaces in Seongbuk-gu... Up to 2 Million Won per Company

Expectations for Providing Various Youth Spaces for Employment, Startup Preparation, and Culture and Arts

Seongbuk Youth Space (172 Hwarang-ro, Seongbuk-gu, 4th floor): Seongbuk Youth Space was also created in 2019 based on the proposal from the Seongbuk Youth Forum.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) operates the "2020 Seongbuk-gu Youth Activity Space Support Project," which provides support to businesses that offer youth spaces for using community areas such as study groups and small gatherings.

This support project reflects opinions gathered from the 2019 Seongbuk Youth Forum.

At that time, young people expressed that public facilities for job seeking and entrepreneurship preparation were insufficient compared to demand, private spaces had economic burdens, and community facilities were needed to address depression and isolation among single-person households living away from home in Seongbuk for study and employment.

Accordingly, the district has been operating the Seongbuk Youth Space (4th floor, 172 Hwarang-ro, Seongbuk-gu) since last year to solve youth activity space issues, and this year plans to expand the support project to include private businesses.

There are no restrictions on the type of spaces that can participate in the project. However, entertainment and lodging businesses are not eligible for support.

The recruitment types are divided into meeting-type spaces such as small groups (study, reading), hobby groups, shared kitchens; presentation-type spaces such as seminars and theater; startup preparation spaces such as shared offices; and cultural and artistic rehearsal spaces (music, performances, etc.). Operators can freely select and submit applications according to the characteristics of their spaces.

Selected businesses will receive up to 2 million KRW per company based on actual rental performance by youth using the space and equipment.

Application forms can be downloaded from the Seongbuk-gu Office website, and applicants must submit the support application, activity plan, business registration certificate, and photos of the space via email (emj0308@sb.go.kr) by the 19th.

Afterward, document screening and on-site inspections will be conducted, and youth space usage is expected to begin in July. However, the schedule may change depending on the COVID-19 situation.
