Geumcheon-gu Provides Meal Support to All Out-of-School Youth

From September, support of up to 3 meals per day worth 6,000 KRW each for out-of-school youth aged 9-24 using Geumcheon Youth Support Center

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) will start a meal support project from September to ensure that out-of-school youth can grow up healthily without skipping meals.

The support is available to all out-of-school youth aged 9 to 24 who use the Geumcheon Youth Support Center Kkumdeulim, regardless of income level, providing meals worth approximately 6,000 KRW per meal, up to three meals per day.

Applications can be made by visiting the Geumcheon Youth Support Center or by phone consultation, and anyone registered as an 'out-of-school youth' at the center can use the service.

Meal support will be provided according to the youth's circumstances, including direct use of restaurants, mobile coupons, and lunchbox delivery.

Meanwhile, the district supports various services through the Geumcheon Youth Support Center to help out-of-school youth grow into healthy members of society, including one-on-one mentoring, academic support such as qualification exams, certification acquisition, emotional support, health checkups, and internships.

Mayor Yu Seong-hoon said, "This project also aims to discover out-of-school youth who do not know about the Youth Support Center and therefore do not use it, strengthening the youth safety net. We will continue to support out-of-school youth so that they can establish themselves as sound members of the local community within the interest and support system of the community."

For more details, inquiries can be made to the Geumcheon-gu Office Child and Youth Division or the Geumcheon Youth Support Center.
