Senior participants in the project will be engaged in a variety of fields, such as: △ Public interest activities—including local environment monitoring and elementary school traffic volunteer groups; △ Utilizing skills—including supporting post office work and elementary school care assistance; △ Community business teams—including operating cafes and bakeries, as well as making rice cakes and sesame oil; △ Employment placement—including security and cleaning staff; △ Other areas—including senior practical English instructors.

The activity allowance varies depending on the field, working hours, and conditions, ranging from about 290,000 won (for 30 hours per month) to 760,000 won (for 60 hours per month).

An official from Seongnam City stated, "This project is being implemented to enable seniors to utilize their experience and abilities in the local community and to support a happy retirement life. We will continue to expand job opportunities tailored to diverse needs in the future."

In addition to this project, Seongnam City is also operating a separate leisure job program for seniors, investing 10.6 billion won of its own budget to support the participation of 4,820 people.
