[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Ulsan City Regional Children's Center Association held a launch ceremony for the "Visiting University Student Mentoring Project for Children and Adolescents at Ulju-gun Regional Children's Centers" on the 18th at the small auditorium of the Ulsan University Student Union Hall, sponsored by the Lotte Samdong Welfare Foundation.

The launch ceremony was attended by County Governor Lee Seon-ho, Deputy General Manager Lee Ki-hyun of the Lotte Samdong Welfare Foundation, Chairman Han Si-jun of the Ulsan Community Chest of Korea, Director Kim Yong-su of the Southeast Science Creativity Promotion Center, city and county council members, regional children's center directors, and university student mentors, totaling 70 participants.

The university student mentoring project is an educational talent-sharing social contribution project funded with 329 million KRW by the Lotte Samdong Welfare Foundation.

The mentors visit regional children's centers within Ulju-gun and provide one-on-one or one-on-two university student mentor matching to 82 fifth and sixth-grade elementary school students, conducting activities twice a week (2 hours per session) for one year, offering academic guidance and career counseling in four subjects (Korean, English, Mathematics, and Science).

University student mentors receive necessary basic education and capacity-building training before mentoring and are supported with allowances including transportation expenses.

A representative of the Lotte Samdong Welfare Foundation said, "Based on the talents and passion of participating mentors, we hope to instill confidence in learning among children who are the future leaders and support them in nurturing big dreams for the future."

The chairman of the Ulsan Community Chest of Korea explained, "We thank the Lotte Samdong Welfare Foundation for leading social contributions for local children and adolescents. The project is carried out through a partnership between the Southeast Science Creativity Promotion Center, which professionally trains and manages university student mentors, and the Ulsan Regional Children's Center Association, which cares for the growth of children at regional children's centers."
