"Making Policies with the Voice of Youth"... Gwanak-gu Recruiting 6th Youth Network Committee Members

Selection of 12 Youth Aged 19-39 Living, Working, or Studying in Gwanak-gu... Support for Various Activities Including Meeting Allowances
Four New Projects Selected from Last Year's Proposed Policies... Active Role as a Youth Governance Platform

Gwanak-gu (District Mayor Park Jun-hee) is recruiting members for the '6th Gwanak Youth Network' to reflect the vivid voices of young people in district administration.

Gwanak-gu has the highest youth population ratio in the country (41.4%) and is proactively implementing various policies for youth. The district established a dedicated youth policy department in 2018 and, in 2022, became the first in Seoul to create the 'Youth Culture Bureau,' systematically building youth policies and infrastructure to foster a youth cultural ecosystem.

The 'Gwanak Youth Network' is the official youth governance platform of Gwanak-gu. Based on the real experiences of young people, it plays a role in discovering and realizing policies. The 5th term achieved meaningful results through a total of 33 active activities, including committee meetings and public forums.

In particular, four proposals such as the 'Youth Living Conditions Survey,' 'Gwanak Youth Festival Starlight Running,' and 'Expansion of Free Legal Consultation System' were selected as new projects for 2025.

The 6th Youth Network is open to anyone aged 19 to 39 who resides, works, or studies (including graduates) in Gwanak-gu as of the announcement date.

The 12 selected members will serve for one year starting from February 10 next year, with opportunities to participate in monthly policy capacity-building education and networking programs.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the application form from the Gwanak-gu Office website (Notices/Announcements), filling it out, attaching supporting documents, and sending it via email by January 3 next year.

The final announcement will be made through the Gwanak-gu Office website in January after an interview screening.

District Mayor Park Jun-hee said, "The Youth Network is a valuable channel through which young people directly discover and realize policies," adding, "We look forward to the enthusiastic participation of young people who will think together and take action on youth policies."
