Recruiting 36 Members for Youth Network Creating Youth Policies in Yangcheon Area

Recruitment of Members for the 6th Yangcheon Youth Network, the Central Organization for Youth Participation Activation Support Project, until February 7
Providing Social Participation Opportunities for Youth and Establishing a Youth-Centered Policy Operation Foundation to Strengthen Policy Capabilities

Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Lee Gi-jae) is promoting the ‘Yangcheon Youth Participation Activation Support Project’ to provide social participation opportunities through exchanges among local youth, strengthen policy capabilities, and discover life-oriented youth policies.

The central organization, the ‘Yangcheon Youth Network,’ is a youth participation platform that monitors the district’s youth policies and serves as a communication channel between the public and private sectors to convey the voices of local youth. By discussing youth agendas in the community and establishing a youth-centered policy operation foundation, it contributes to defining the role of youth as active agents rather than mere policy consumers.

Since its first introduction in 2019, 195 youth members have been active, carrying out various projects such as ▲Youth Week ▲Youth Future Job Training Course ▲Youth-Elderly Generation Exchange Support Project (including digital literacy education) ▲Youth-Senior Single Household Generation Empathy Project (cooking classes, cultural planning for seniors, etc.) ▲ECO Yangcheon Youth Green Festival combining environmental and youth issues ▲Youth Growth Academy, among others.

In particular, last year, through the ‘Majubom Youth Mentoring Project,’ customized consulting and networking programs were provided to about 10 socially isolated youth in blind spots to support their stable social advancement, receiving great responses.

The district is recruiting 36 members for the 6th Yangcheon Youth Network, who will serve a one-year term until February next year, with applications open until the 7th of next month.

Applicants must be youth aged between 19 and 39 as of the announcement date and meet at least one of the following criteria: residents of Yangcheon-gu, employees working in Yangcheon-gu, or youth belonging to youth organizations or non-profit organizations located in Yangcheon-gu.

Selected members will serve as partners in the district’s youth policies and be assigned to one of five divisions: climate & environment, culture & arts, welfare & equality, jobs & startups, and housing, where they will discover youth-experienced agendas.

They will also have opportunities to participate in various youth programs such as monthly regular and division meetings, workshops, forums, and capacity-building academies.

Youth wishing to apply can fill out the form posted in the announcements section on the district office website and submit it via email to the person in charge. The selection results will be individually notified in mid-February.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “We hope for much interest and support for the ‘Yangcheon Youth Network,’ which allows youth to actively implement life-oriented youth policies through social participation based on strengthening their policy capabilities.” He added, “We will continue to listen to the voices of youth and spare no support to make Yangcheon a vibrant city where youth can feel proud.”
