Seoul Volunteer Center Recruiting Participants for 1st Semester Elementary, Middle, and High School Mentoring Volunteer Activities

Online and Offline Combined, Education, Talent, and Care Volunteer Activities 진행

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Volunteer Center announced on the 28th that it is intensively recruiting volunteers for ‘Seoul Donghaeng,’ a mentoring volunteer program for university (graduate) students and elementary, middle, and high school students, until April 9, to help all students enjoy daily life and continue learning and relationships.

Seoul Donghaeng is a volunteer program where university (graduate) students share their talents and experiences with younger elementary, middle, and high school students and grow together. It supports meaningful growth for both university students and younger students through volunteer activities.

Participating university (graduate) students choose activities such as ▲ educational volunteering (subject tutoring, basic learning support, special education, etc.), ▲ talent volunteering (arts and physical education, IT, reading guidance, etc.), and ▲ care volunteering (helping with homework, physical play, experiential activities, etc.) at educational sites in Seoul, including elementary, middle, high schools, special schools, alternative schools, and local children’s centers.

In particular, to prevent learning exclusion and provide emotional support amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, both online and offline mentoring activities are conducted to help continue learning and relationships. Online activities are conducted through online video platforms used by the activity institutions, and through activity pledges and personal information consent forms, participants are guided on the rules to follow online. Offline activities comply with government safety and quarantine guidelines, with mentoring volunteer activities conducted one-on-one or in small groups.

University (graduate) students are expected to gain socially safe connections and participation experiences despite increased restrictions and fewer opportunities. Kim Eui-wook, the center director, said, “Currently, elementary, middle, and high school students, teachers, parents, and university students are all going through difficult times due to COVID-19. At times like this, we will spare no effort to support Seoul Donghaeng mentoring so that social challenges such as overcoming learning exclusion and depression can be addressed together, and everyone can feel a sense of solidarity by safely connecting and working together.”
