Five Youth Facilities Including Changdong Youth Culture House and Staff Receive Excellent Scores in Government Agency Evaluation
Dobong-gu (Mayor Oh Eon-seok) announced that several district-run youth facilities in the area achieved outstanding awards in multiple government agency evaluations this year.
The district reported that five youth facilities (including staff), including Changdong Youth Culture House, received prestigious awards such as the Minister’s Award, Seoul Metropolitan Mayor’s Award, and Chairman’s Award in evaluations conducted by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, and the Korea Youth Activity Promotion Agency.
The Dobong-gu Youth Support Center played a significant role in these achievements. The district opened the center in August last year to manage and support youth facilities.
