The 'Geumcheon Youth CEO Project' is a program that the district has been running for three years since 2019 in collaboration with the Geumcheon Youth Center (Director Hyeong Woo Yoo) to develop youth career competencies and foster proper economic awareness.

All proceeds from the free market sales will be donated to socially vulnerable youths in Geumcheon-gu.
Eligibility includes youths aged 12 to 18 who reside in Geumcheon-gu or attend schools located in Geumcheon-gu. Applications can be made individually or in groups of 3 to 6 people.
Activities will be conducted in small groups and online depending on the COVID-19 situation.
Mayor Yu Seong-hoon said, "The Youth CEO Project will enhance youths' participation rights through voluntary involvement, provide experiences in entrepreneurship and community activities, and help foster a sense of community." He added, "We hope many youths dreaming of the future will show interest and participate."
