Gyeonggi-do to Support Daily Life Recovery for Isolated and Reclusive Youth... 200 Participants Until August 22

Gyeonggi-do is recruiting 200 participants for the second round of its support program for isolated and reclusive youth, titled "With Me, A World Worth Seeing," until August 22. The program aims to help isolated and reclusive young people recover their daily lives.

The program is open to isolated and reclusive youth aged 19 to 39 who reside in Gyeonggi-do. In the first round held in June, Gyeonggi-do selected 300 participants. Including this second round, a total of 500 young people will receive support this year.

The 200 selected participants will receive an initial consultation with a professional counselor and, depending on their needs and condition, will participate in in-depth counseling, online activities, emotional care, relationship building, work experience, volunteer activities with companion animals, and local living experiences as part of daily life recovery programs.

Even after completing the program, participants will continue to receive support for daily life recovery through self-help groups, shelters for isolated and reclusive youth, and connections to other programs.

Youth who wish to participate can apply through the Gyeonggi Youth Portal (youth.gg.go.kr) or by scanning the QR code on the promotional poster.

The counseling and programs will be conducted at four hub centers (Nawabom Centers): two in Suwon (Paldal-gu), one in Seongnam (Bundang-gu), and one in Uijeongbu (Uijeongbu 1-dong). If participants prefer, counseling can be provided online or at nearby youth spaces outside the hub centers. The centers also serve as shelters for isolated and reclusive youth, and anyone can visit for reading or relaxation regardless of program participation.

Kim Sunhwa, Director of the Youth Opportunity Division of Gyeonggi-do, said, "We will continue to promote various support programs and improve social awareness so that isolated and reclusive youth can regain their daily lives."
