Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is recruiting participants for the "Youth Volunteer Experience School" during the summer vacation.

This experience school is designed to provide students, who usually find it difficult to make time due to their studies, with opportunities to gain various volunteer experiences during the vacation. The purpose is to allow them to feel joy and fulfillment while practicing warm sharing in the local community.

The activities will be held from July 24 to August 2 at the Gwangjin-gu Volunteer Center meeting room.

The program is open to youth attending middle and high schools located in Gwangjin-gu, and anyone interested in volunteering can participate.

The program consists of three fields: ▲Environment ▲Awareness Improvement ▲Talent Sharing. It will be conducted over a total of 8 sessions through a combination of related theoretical education and hands-on experience. Professional activists, including youth volunteer education instructors, will lead the sessions to help students engage with interest.

First, in the environment field, participants will learn about resource circulation and waste separation methods. In the awareness improvement field, they will understand the lives of people with disabilities and dementia patients and participate in street campaigns.

The final talent sharing field involves making eco-friendly products such as coasters made from sock yarn and card wallets recycled from waste leather. Additionally, participants will create Braille keyrings to learn how to communicate with visually impaired people. The completed items will be delivered to social welfare facilities in the local area.

Applications are accepted from July 3 to 21, with 15 participants recruited per session on a first-come, first-served basis. Those wishing to participate can apply online through the 1365 Volunteer Portal.

Participants will receive 2 hours of volunteer credit for each session attended.

Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, “We operate the experience school so that students on vacation can understand the meaning of volunteering and develop interest. I hope they have a rewarding summer vacation by practicing sharing for neighbors and the local community.”
