Seoul Volunteer Center Recruiting University Student Mentors for Elementary, Middle, and High School Mentoring Volunteer Activities

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Volunteer Center announced on the 3rd that it is intensively recruiting university student mentors for the ‘Seoul Donghaeng Mentoring Volunteer Activity’ until the 31st to continue providing academic support and emotional support for elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as self-directed mentoring volunteer experiences for university (graduate) students.

University (graduate) student mentors can check various activities such as educational volunteering, talent volunteering, and caregiving volunteering at sites in Seoul that require mentoring, including elementary, middle, high schools, special schools, alternative schools, community child centers, and Kiwoom centers, and participate in activities by selecting those that match their aptitude and preferences.

In particular, last year, Seoul Donghaeng supported various activities to ensure safe mentoring for both university (graduate) students and elementary, middle, and high school students despite the risk of COVID-19 infection, and plans to create a safe mentoring environment this year as well.

The Seoul Donghaeng Mentoring Volunteer Activity is a program that goes beyond simply exchanging education between university (graduate) students and elementary, middle, and high school students; it enhances participants’ confidence and strengthens social bonds through mutual support. In fact, a survey related to the activities was conducted on the university student group (2,019 people) and youth group (392 people) who participated in last year’s Seoul Donghaeng Mentoring Volunteer Activity, and the overall satisfaction with the mentoring activities for both groups scored 4.5 out of 5, indicating high satisfaction with the activities.

Additionally, the Seoul Volunteer Center conducts various sharing events such as cultural events including exhibition visits and e-book subscriptions for volunteers in the Seoul Donghaeng Mentoring Program, as well as diary gifts and events, and actively recognizes and encourages participants by recommending outstanding performers for the Seoul Mayor’s Commendation.

Lee Ki-baek, Deputy Director of the Seoul Volunteer Center’s Project Management Department, said, “At this time as we move toward With-Corona, the most important thing is the growth power of supporting each other and moving forward together,” adding, “Especially at times like this, through the safe ‘Seoul Donghaeng Mentoring Volunteer Activity,’ we will provide various support so that many university students and youth can form mutual support relationships, gain confidence, and envision their futures.”
