The Youth Guardians of Natural Caves program is designed to allow the younger generation to gain expertise by directly experiencing exploration and preservation education, helping them grow into future preservation specialists. The appointed students will visit natural caves throughout the country to clean the environment and promote the value of preservation through social networking services (SNS).

Following the appointment ceremony, the National Heritage Administration will hold a discussion on the future direction of natural cave preservation and the need to foster young talent. The necessity of preservation will also be emphasized through field trips to Gossi Cave in Yeongwol and Baekryong Cave in Pyeongchang. An official stated, "We aim to establish a sustainable preservation system for natural caves through the voluntary activities of young people."
