Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Hee-su) is implementing the Youth Dream Voucher Project for the first time in Jeollanam-do.

According to the county on the 20th, the Dream Voucher Project is being promoted to reduce the economic burden of raising adolescent children and to provide opportunities for self-development that allow youth to nurture their dreams.

The county secured 390 million KRW of county funds and established a voucher system in June to alleviate the cultural deprivation of local youth.

The support target is adolescents aged 13 to 18 residing in Jindo-gun, who will receive 50,000 KRW monthly in the form of a point-based electronic voucher card.

The card can be used at registered merchants within the county, such as stationery stores, bookstores, movie theaters, gyms, arts and physical education academies, and beauty salons, while usage is restricted in some sectors like private tutoring academies.

Governor Kim Hee-su said, "The Dream Voucher Project is the first of its kind to be implemented in Jeollanam-do by Jindo-gun. We expect it to have a triple positive effect by easing the economic burden on parents, nurturing the dreams and hopes of youth, and contributing to the revitalization of the local economy."

Meanwhile, voucher points began their first recharge on the 20th, and from August, points will be automatically recharged on the first day of each month.
