Gwangju Gwangsan-gu Partners with Gwangju Urban Corporation to Support Youth Independence

Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is establishing a mutual cooperation system with Gwangju Urban Corporation (President Jeong Mingon) to support youth independence.

On the 18th, the district signed a consignment management and operation agreement with Gwangju Urban Corporation for the promotion of the (tentatively named) 'Youth Residential Independence Room' project at the district office's 2nd-floor situation room.

The Youth Residential Independence Room is a hub facility that supports youth independence and proactive growth. Construction began in May.

It is a four-story building with a total floor area of 894.12㎡, housing 20 private residential units and shared spaces such as a youth workshop, rest area, and meeting rooms.

The district plans to support youth who face difficulties in independence and social adaptation to live here, design their own lives, and strive for independence based on cooperation between local institutions, organizations, and public-private partnerships.

This agreement is the first step in specifying the basic operational framework of the Youth Residential Independence Room, which aims to open in September 2024. According to the agreement, after Gwangju Urban Corporation completes the construction, Gwangsan-gu will be responsible for space operation and management.

The district plans to establish and implement detailed operational plans so that the Youth Residential Independence Room can serve various functions as a living space, learning center, playground, and workplace for youth.
