Seoul Volunteer Center, Intensive Recruitment of 'Seoul Donghaeng' University Student Volunteers

Until the 31st of next month

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Seoul Volunteer Center announced on the 22nd that it is intensively recruiting university (graduate) student mentor volunteers for 'Seoul Donghaeng,' the nation's largest mentoring volunteer program, until the 31st of next month.

The Seoul Donghaeng mentoring volunteer program operates in educational and care settings in Seoul such as elementary, middle, high schools, special schools, community child centers, and Kiwoom centers, providing ▲educational volunteering (Korean, English, math, science, basic learning support, special education), ▲talent volunteering (club activities, arts and physical education, second foreign languages, IT, reading guidance), and ▲care volunteering (helping with homework, physical play activities, experiential activity support).

In particular, this year, a new 'community service' category has been established, focusing on expanding options so that university (graduate) students can gain diverse experiences such as emotional support, career exploration, special talents and aptitudes, and cultural experiences.

The 2023 Seoul Donghaeng program, under the core message 'Design Your Experience,' provides a systematic system and operational management to help university (graduate) students concretize their experiences, link them to career paths, and create an environment for self-directed experience accumulation.

To recognize and encourage participating volunteers, starting this year, 'Seoul Donghaeng' offers university (graduate) students a portfolio to design their volunteer activities as their own differentiated experience. Additionally, various activity supports such as musical viewing, diary provision, and celebration events are provided, and outstanding participants are recommended for the Seoul Mayor's Commendation, among other recognition measures to make volunteering more meaningful and enjoyable.

The Seoul Donghaeng mentoring volunteer activities are open to all university (graduate) students and students on leave (including those with deferred graduation), and applications can be made through the Seoul Donghaeng online site. Mentoring volunteer activities can be participated in according to the volunteer period as ▲short-term (less than 2 months) or ▲mid-term (2 to less than 4 months), matching the volunteer's schedule.

Lee Kiback, Deputy Director of the Seoul Volunteer Center's Project Management Department, said, “We hope that university students will have a positive social participation opportunity to fully demonstrate their talents and grow through the mentoring activities experience of Seoul Donghaeng.”
