Kim Yong-hwan, CEO of Korea Macquarie, said, “We hope through the Korea Macquarie Youth Leader Program...” He added, “We hope that young people grow into leaders who create a better world through positive influence.”

Shin Jeong-won, Head of Social Contribution Cooperation at the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, said, “We hope that through this Korea Macquarie Youth Leader Program, the students who are the future protagonists will receive not only financial support but also help in designing their futures through various programs such as mentoring.”
