The "Guri Silver Workforce Bank" is operated by the Bongseon Welfare Foundation, while the "Guri Senior Club" is run by the Guri City branch of the Korean Senior Citizens Association. Both organizations provide a variety of job opportunities and avenues for social participation to local seniors.

Before the main event, a range of performances-including the Maha Dance Troupe, GoGo Janggu, and Dongdong Theater Troupe-were held to encourage participants who had diligently contributed throughout the year and to offer them a chance to enjoy cultural experiences.

In addition, a meaningful moment was prepared to express gratitude by presenting the Guri Mayor's Award to 38 seniors who served as exemplary participants in the senior job and social activity support project, as well as to two organizations that have contributed to the expansion and maintenance of senior jobs over a long period.

The closing evaluation meeting featured various programs, including a video recap of the year's activities, a report on the satisfaction survey results from both participants and partner organizations, an introduction to new projects for 2026, and a prize drawing. These activities provided participants with a sense of pride and accomplishment in their involvement with senior job programs.

Baek Kyunghyun, Mayor of Guri City, said, "I deeply thank the seniors who have devoted themselves to the local community, and I will continue to strive for diverse welfare initiatives so that you may enjoy a healthy and happy retirement."

As of November 2025, the "Guri Silver Workforce Bank" has 1,058 seniors participating across 23 project teams, while the "Guri Senior Club" involves 1,291 seniors in 27 project teams.
