Open to Yangcheon-gu Residents Aged 19 to 64, Trainee Recruitment Until March 4
Collaboration with Local Community Centers, Senior Welfare Centers, and Senior Lounges to Promote Health for Vulnerable Groups

Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gi-jae) announced that it is recruiting about 20 trainees to participate as ‘Together Movement Supporters,’ where residents become instructors to support physical activities for local seniors and users of children’s facilities.

‘Together Movement Supporters’ is a project aimed at promoting health among vulnerable groups through training Yangcheon-gu residents as part of a participatory physical activity initiative.

Selected supporters will complete theoretical and practical physical activity programs and then be dispatched to institutions in need to work as physical activity instructors.

Partner institutions for the project include ▲children’s facilities (Our Neighborhood Care Center) and ▲senior facilities (Senior Welfare Center, Senior Community Room, Daycare Center, etc.), where physical activity classes will be conducted for children and seniors affiliated with these facilities.

A district official stated, “Supporters dispatched to senior institutions will be selected from residents with diverse talents and experiences,” adding, “This will be a great opportunity to practice sharing by conducting physical activity programs for seniors who spend much of their time indoors.”

Anyone aged 19 to 64 residing in the district who is capable of physical activity can apply to become a Together Movement Supporter. Interested residents can fill out the training application form available on the district office website’s notice section and submit it via email to the person in charge by the 4th of next month. The district will review applications and notify selected candidates individually.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, “Together Movement Supporters is a meaningful sharing activity where Yangcheon-gu residents take the lead in giving back their talents and experiences to the community,” and urged, “We hope many residents will participate actively to help create a healthy Yangcheon.”
