Various activities such as mentor schools, psychological counseling, and capacity-building education are supported for youth, and over the past two years, more than 24,000 people have used the center, establishing it as a space for youth exchange and communication.

The Youth Dream Center gathered feedback from its users and prepared a plan to repurpose the space, previously operated as a Maker Space, for local young artists.

Youth artists and young people who wish to use the space can apply for rental through the Gwangyang Youth Dream Center website, and the space can be rented free of charge for up to four weeks.
