Started in 2021 and now in its fourth year, the ‘Independence Preparation Support Project’ is a program designed to provide a foundation to help youth preparing for independence successfully enter society and to support the emotional stability of children under protection.

The sponsorship funds will be used to provide scholarships for youth preparing for independence and to operate self-help groups aimed at strengthening social support systems. Additionally, Kyochon will continue its ongoing interest by offering additional scholarship opportunities not only to the newly selected youth preparing for independence but also to those from the first to third cohorts.

Furthermore, part of the sponsorship funds will also support the operation of the ‘Mind Filling Project,’ which provides social, psychological, and emotional support for children under protection who are preparing for independence. The ‘Mind Filling Project’ focuses on psychological stability and the formation of close social relationships through programs that enhance social skills and self-esteem, as well as activities linked with Kyochon’s Barugo Volunteer Group.

Song Jong-hwa, Vice Chairman of Kyochon Group, stated, “We will continue to provide ongoing support so that youth preparing for independence and children under protection can dream of a bright future through stable independence. Going forward, Kyochon will expand its positive influence by carrying out various social contribution activities to help more neighbors and local communities.”
