Since its inception in 2015, the Rainbow Stepping Stone Mentoring program has reached its 9th year this year. There were 36 youth mentees and 19 university (graduate) student mentors who completed the 9th term activities. From March to December last year, they met twice a week for 10 months, learning Korean and school subjects together, sharing their growth process. Various cultural activities that can be experienced in our society, such as visits to domestic historical sites and exhibitions, career exploration, and sports activities, were also held once a month.

Kim Young-woon, a mentor selected as the outstanding mentoring team of the 9th term, said, "Serving as a mentor for students growing up in similar environments allowed me to reflect on my past and create memories of dreaming of a bright future together."

Seo Chang-hee, head of the Kolon Social Service Corps, said, "Kolon Group will continue to strive to be a partner that helps migrant-background youth settle stably in Korean society."
