[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) is recruiting participants for the community support project for youth, the ‘2021 Yangcheon Youth Challenge Project,’ until July 5.

The ‘Youth Challenge Project’ is a program designed to support fresh and diverse ideas from youth, activate youth-led social participation, and contribute to the formation of healthy youth communities.

There are five themes to choose from: ▲ Discovering and revitalizing local youth culture content ▲ Activating youth communities/clubs ▲ Youth skill development and talent cultivation ▲ Public interest activities for local community development such as discovering local public agendas ▲ Free projects expressing youth’s innovative ideas (creative activities, etc.).

Applicants must be groups or organizations composed of three or more youth aged 19 to 39 (as of the announcement date) residing or active in Yangcheon-gu.

Those interested can check the application form and required documents on the district’s website notice board and submit via email (sekeye@yangcheon.go.kr) or visit the Job and Economy Division at the district office for submission.

The application deadline is July 5 at 6 p.m. For more details, inquiries can be made to the Youth Policy Team of the Job and Economy Division.

The evaluation will be conducted in two stages: first document screening and second interview. The assessment criteria include creativity (30%), feasibility (30%), validity (20%), and budget appropriateness (20%).

The final selected teams will receive activity funding up to 5 million KRW, paid in three installments.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “This will be a great opportunity for youth themselves to participate directly in district projects as key agents in solving youth issues,” and added, “We expect youth to take a leading role in discovering local public agendas and revitalizing local community culture.”
