Recruitment of Individual and Group Volunteers for Hangang Park... 160 Individuals and 60 Groups

Leading Participation in Spreading Pedestrian Safety Culture, Environmental Cleanup, and Operating Cultural and Art Programs

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government's Hangang Project Headquarters announced on the 16th that it will recruit individual and group volunteers to carry out volunteer activities at all 11 Hangang Parks over a period of four weeks until March 15.

Volunteers at Hangang Parks will engage in activities from April to December to manage the parks and promote a proper usage culture, including environmental cleanup, safety campaigns, and citizen experience program operations.

This year, the plan is to recruit 160 'individual volunteers' who will actively participate in managing the Hangang Parks and spreading the usage culture, and 60 'volunteer groups' that will conduct park environmental cleanup and operate self-planned activities.

Individual volunteers can apply if they are citizens aged 20 or older residing or active in Seoul, while 'volunteer groups' include elementary, middle, and high schools, companies, and civic organizations located in Seoul, accepting applications from groups of five or more depending on the desired activity field.

Those who wish to apply can download the application form by category from the Seoul Hangang Project Headquarters website (hangang.seoul.go.kr), fill it out, and submit it via email (hangangvt@seoul.go.kr) by March 15.

Selection results will be individually notified after the application deadline, and selected individuals and groups must participate in an online training and briefing session held before starting full activities.

Volunteers can have their volunteer hours recognized through the 1365 Volunteer Portal (www.1365.go.kr) upon request, and individuals and groups with continuous activity for more than two years and a total of over 200 hours of service will have the opportunity to receive a commendation from the Seoul Mayor.

Song Young-min, General Manager of the Seoul Hangang Project Headquarters, said, "This year, we especially expect active volunteer participation in spreading a pedestrian-centered safe usage culture at Hangang Parks and improving aesthetics through murals," adding, "We hope for many passionate volunteers to participate in Hangang management directly involving citizens."
