"Providing Opportunities for Youth Participation in City Administration"... Seoul Youth Partners Now Recruiting Participants

Priority Recruitment for Youth Participants in 6 Projects
Hands-on Experience Support... Recruitment Open Until March 31

On the 17th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it is recruiting participants for 'Seoul Youth Partners,' a program designed to encourage young people to take part in municipal administration.

Seoul Youth Partners is a project that supports early-career youth, including university students, in gaining hands-on experience by participating in proposing ideas, planning, and promoting major city policies.

Launching for the first time this year, Seoul Youth Partners will operate in a total of 12 projects. These include monitoring designated Kids OK Zones (led by the Low Birthrate Officer), promoting the public wedding hall initiative 'A More Beautiful Wedding' (managed by the Family Affairs Officer), and providing on-site support for digital inclusion (handled by the Digital Policy Division).

The city will first recruit youth participants for 6 out of the 12 projects. The recruitment period runs from March 18 to March 31, and detailed information can be found in the announcements section of the Youth Mongttang Information Portal.

The other 6 projects, for which participants are not being recruited at this time, will accept applications sequentially, taking into account project schedules and other factors. In addition, the city plans to continuously discover and introduce new initiatives in the second half of the year to expand opportunities for youth participation.

The selected youth participants will begin their activities in April.

To enhance the job suitability and field adaptability of those selected, the city will conduct job training and provide additional support, such as granting volunteer hours and issuing certificates of participation so that the experience can be used in their portfolios. Incentives such as recommendations for commendations from the Mayor of Seoul and nominations for appointed positions on Seoul City committees will also be offered to outstanding participants.

Kim Cheolhee, Director of the Future Youth Planning Office at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, stated, "Seoul Youth Partners will be an opportunity for the creativity and trendy sensibilities of young people to invigorate the city as a whole."
