The ‘7th Eunpyeong-gu Youth Council’ will be composed of 40 members selected through school recommendations and open recruitment. Any youth aged 14 to 19 residing in Eunpyeong-gu or attending middle or high school in Eunpyeong-gu can apply.

The selected youth council members will participate in various activities for one year starting with the opening ceremony in April, including ▲discovering and reviewing youth participatory budget proposal projects ▲proposing youth-related policy and system improvements ▲capacity-building workshops ▲regular plenary sessions ▲operating promotional booths at youth festivals, and will work to promote the rights of youth in Eunpyeong-gu.

Additionally, four ‘young mentors’ to support the activities of the 7th Youth Council will be selected through open recruitment. Applicants should be young adults aged 20 to 29 with experience in youth participation organizations or a strong understanding of youth policies.

The application period is until March 31. Applicants can check the announcements or public notices on the Eunpyeong-gu website, complete the required documents, and apply via email.

Since the 1st council in 2015, the ‘Eunpyeong-gu Youth Council,’ now preparing for its 7th session this year, has had 202 youth members participate and has reviewed and resolved a total of 48 agenda items, including the proposal project ‘Improving Awareness and Counseling Measures for Youth Depression.’

In particular, despite the adverse conditions caused by COVID-19 in 2020 during the 6th Youth Council, which led to cancellations or reductions of face-to-face activities, active online activities resulted in the proposal of seven youth participatory budget projects, which were submitted to the Youth General Assembly.

Also, at the end of February, the 2nd regular plenary session was held, where the process of reviewing and resolving policy proposal projects was broadcast live through the Eunpyeong-gu Council website.
