[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Daegu City announced on the 9th that the Daegu Youth Talent Donation Volunteer Group will create 300 "Happiness Boxes" on the 10th at Daegu Technical University (Building 8, Cooking Practice Room) and deliver them to seven social welfare facilities in the Buk-gu area.

Founded in 2014, the Daegu Youth Talent Donation Volunteer Group is an organization supported by the Daegu Youth Support Foundation to provide career experience opportunities to youth and to develop social values and latent talents through social service.

The Daegu Youth Talent Donation Volunteer Group has experts such as master craftsmen, entrepreneurs, and educators serving as mentors who provide free training in skills like cooking, floristry, fashion, crafts, and beauty to students seeking career experience.

Before COVID-19, the group mainly conducted on-site volunteer activities, but after the outbreak, they have consistently continued small-scale volunteer activities. Last year, 35 mentors and about 700 mentees formed 18 teams and carried out a total of 100 volunteer activities throughout the year. A total of 17,270 people from vulnerable groups benefited from their sharing efforts.

Kang Myung-sook, Director of the Women's and Youth Education Bureau of Daegu City, said, "Through learning and sharing, we hope to become a stepping stone for youth to find their career paths and to provide a moment of warm happiness and comfort to vulnerable local communities enduring difficult times due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic."
