Yongsan-gu Announces Youth Club Project Contest... Up to 2 Million Won Support

Applications open from the 5th to 16th for youth clubs based in Yongsan-gu to provide opportunities for young people to engage in various interests... Recruiting 5 teams

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yongsan-gu (Mayor Seongjang Hyun) is launching a public contest project to support youth club activities in the first half of 2021.

The aim is to provide young people with opportunities to engage in various interests and to foster a youth community culture where hobbies and interests can be shared and communicated within the local area.

The contest targets groups or gatherings composed of youth aged 19 to 39 who either reside in Yongsan-gu or have their living area (including university students and unemployed individuals) in Yongsan-gu. There is no limit on the number of members per club, and five teams will be recruited. Each group can receive up to 2 million KRW in support.

Activity fields can be freely selected, including jobs, housing, culture, hobbies, startups, and solving local issues. It is also possible to include various contents such as meetings for youth policy formation and opinion exchange from a youth perspective. However, clubs related to politics, religion, simple socializing, profit-making purposes, or those already receiving other subsidies are excluded from support.

The application period is from the 5th to the 16th. Clubs wishing to participate should prepare the relevant documents and either visit the district policy department or submit them via the responsible staff’s email. Detailed information on support conditions and required documents can be found on the district’s official website.

The district plans to select support recipients by the end of this month through a written review considering the feasibility and validity of the activity plans.

Seongjang Hyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, “We hope that youth clubs active in various fields will be revitalized through this project,” and added, “We will continue to implement diverse youth policies to ensure that young people can actively participate in district administration.”
